Beautiful pictures, Sydney! I actually did some when I was younger (too old now!).

Bottom line is this, its ultimately your decision BUT once they cut your stomach out and suck it out of you thats it, your now perminantly altered for life so any further complications down the road you will have to deal with. With the band should anything arise it can always COME OUT. This is the EXACT reason among many others why i wouldnt get anything but the band, not even for a million dollars. My surgeon also said because of my high BMI the band might not be as successfull, but i told him flat out the band is the absolute only thing i will remotely consider and thats it and he didnt even argue with me about he said ok sure no problem. This is YOUR life, not your surgeons, not your familys its YOURS. Make the decision thats best for you, there are many pros and cons to ANY surgery, but the band is the absolute safest out of all of them and your far less likely to have a complication from it than the other surgeries! Goodluck!
