Things to think about...

I have been doing a lot of thinking about this procedure. I have decided to find out what procedure they recommend for me. I'm fairly certain they will say banding or roux-en y. I see the pros and cons of both. My concern with banding is being demotivated by a slow weightloss and being able to maintain that loss. Also whether the band and port stays in for the rest of my life. WIth RNY I'm concerned about the longterm effects of the malabsorption. I guess as long as I follow directions I should be ok.

Hopefully, everything goes ok with the insurance and I can get this done in March so I can be ready for summer!
