Dr Callery does both. He spoke about it at a post-op meeting months ago that I attended. He had good points for both surgeries. It was neat to hear him speak of both because some people do not want to go with the RNY or some people don't have as much weight to lose....their BMI's are lower to begin with. I think Tammi has good debates going on between husband and herself.
For me, I knew it had to be a permanent thing and I knew that I would probably find a way to cheat around the band. I do know a lot of people who have been successful with the band, but on the other hand I know of many failures. I think it all depends on the individual and their needs.
