Posted 08-31-2006 at 07:48 PM by shellyj. since this is a hot topic i figure i'll give my OPINION on lapband VS other WLS (RNY or DS or FOBI)
reasons i chose the band...
*shorter hospital/stay quick recovery...i had surgery monday and worked friday
*no malabsorption of nutrients or medicine
*if you get pregnant you can have the fill released to have a more natural pregnancy
*the band can be removed at any time
*its adjustable...you can always go in for a fill or unfill to meet your EVER CHANGING NEEDS!!!... |
