Thanks Barb and Sherri, I really appreciate all who give of there time to come on and help me with this. I have to say I have been on the revision board and most are the rny patients and most of them are 6 years out and gaining the weight back. Not that lap band doesn't have a problem with weight gain back but I hear on the lap band board that if they fall off they can get a fill and get back to business. With the rny why it's a whole new surgery.  I like sweets and ice cream but not  a thing I have to have. My problem is chips dip, pizza, steak, speg. and so on. I went on the opti fast diet when Oprah went on it and did really well, lost about 65 pounds and the reason I did so well was because I was afraid of having a attack when you cheat. Can't really remember what that was but it kinda of sound like dumping and could risk surgery, so they told us. So there was no way I was going to cheat. But as the story goes you go back to eating real food and then the weight comes back. I will talk to Dr. Gupta and go from there, I really had finally set my mind on lap band and felt at peace with that, and now it's back up in the air again. Tracey

Really? Cause Dr. Stote the shrink at St. V. even told me it was 1 in 200, and I know that on Dr. Curry's question and answers on the lap band he even states that it's 1 in 200.

I have had direct contact with Dr. Gupta and Dr. Cacucci in connection with the Bariatric Center.  I felt very comfortable and confident in their their knowledge of and ability to perform any WLS.  You need to talk to Dr. Gupta and to god.  I search for what is best for you.  You and only you can make the best decision for you.
