What would your decision be based on?
I have made up my mind, and have decided to meet with a surgeon for a consultation on the lap band, but now I'm kind of leaning more towards the gastric bypass. My insurance covers both so I am not to worried about cost "we pay at most 3,500 out of pocket anything over that the insurance covers 100%" I know the difference between the two, and am ready and willing to push myself to the fullest to get a positive result. I just don't know which one I am really wanting to choose. I want this weight off, but I don't want to loose it so quickly I am left with saggy skin, but I don't want it to take me 5 years to get the weight off I need to loose. What was your decision based on? I know I still have a lot of prep work to do before getting to the stage of being ready for surgery. I just want to figure out what it is I really want. I am doing my research as best and as fast as I can. It's just overwhelming knowing that my life will be changed forever with the choice I make. Just for those of you that want numbers before giving an answer. I am 25 years old I stand 5'4 and weigh in at 252 my BMI is at a big fat 43.3 I have been caring this weight with me since the birth of my daughter in March of 06. I have tried diets, exercise even the magic weight loss shot with quick results that last a total of maybe a month, and the weight is back with a few extra pounds to boot. I don't know what else is left for me to do for myself. I want to be here for my kids as they grow up. I want to see them graduate high school/college, and I want to live to see them become parents. All in All I want to be the happy outgoing person I was when my husband and I met.

It is possible to lose weight fast but you should be realistic and understand that if you lose weight rapidly then you will probably put it all back on again just as rapidly. I lost 10 pounds recently when I had a special celebration to go to, and I did it by following the tips given on the web portal in the box below. Source(s): camelg.bestlose-weight0o0info
This is a decision only you can make. You need to really educate yourself on both the lapband and bypass. You know that lapband is not permanent where as the bypass is. You probably also know that the weight loss for lapband is slower and there is more success with gastric bypass for taking off weight. My husband had the lapband done. He lost 3 lbs. in 2 years. He used to have to get painful almost monthly band adjustments done in those 2 years. It was done by one of the best bariatric surgeons in the country. Finally, the band had caused so much scar tissue inside, it had to be removed. During those 2 years, it was either feast or famine when it came to eating. He would be able to eat nothing at all for awhile and then the doctor would adjust the band and his appetite would be back to the way he was before the surgery. There was no happy medium no matter how the band was adjusted. So they took out the band and gave him the gastric bypass. It has been a huge success with him losing over 140 lbs. and almost at his goal weight after only a year. He is quite happy with it. He no longer even misses the food he used to eat prior to surgery. He looks and feels great. His health has improved dramatically.Everyone has their own opinions about what is best. The lapband may work just great for someone else while my husband had a terrible time with it. The same could be said of those who have had the bypass also. All you can do is educate yourself, discuss it with your doctor, and make your own decision. Good luck to you in whatever your choice might be.
