Hey, thanks so much for all your replies - read with THANKS.
I went to the Surgeon today and I asked him his honest opinion - what surgery would HE have if HE had this weight problem. And his answer - the Sleeve Gastric bypass, rather than the lap band. He said because once it is done it is over, you can still eat the food you want to , you don't have to keep on going for the check up 5-10 times a year - and you lose more weight.
When I told my husband (who is a doctor) he said NO WAY, don't even think about it!!
So I have a bit of opposition there.
