At first I was all about the lap band .... lap band this and that. Than I really started to look into RNY, and had a huge eye openier.
Why I chose RNY
Lapband as far as I am concerned turns your stomach into a funnel. And all you have to do is drink while eatting and chew very well and you can eat just about anything you want. Me personally, I need restriction. They kind that you cant cheat. I dont really do sweet, I love my meats and veggies. I didnt want to have to spend the rest of my life going back to the Dr for fills, with the lapband you have to goto the Dr for fills and unfills inorder to hit your sweet spot. With the lapband you can drink Mcdonalds shakes all day, and not have any issues. With RNY you can drink that shake however most likey the sugar will make you so ill, you will never want to do that again. That is what I need.
Its a personal choice to make, I would goto at least 3 different free seminars and see how the Dr give there information and read this board and others like it, than make up your mind.
For me I started with Lapband and ending with RNY, and I am six weeks out and happy I made the decision I did.
