i had a wonderful bypass but i wish i chose it for a better reason than its the faster weight loss than the band.

I had bypass. I am doing well with it. In my support group, (I started with it last Oct '10) we had a lot of bandies. Now we seem to have more bypassers... but out of all the bandies, I can only think of 1 who reported multiple difficulties-I think she has lost 140 so far..(she looks like she is at a very good weight now.)
At first I thought I would do a band, but I didn't want the port and to keep needing a doc just for the port. In Support Group I see some rarely get a fill-others might need them more often.
As long as you look into your choices really well, and have a doctor you trust and a doctor has gone over your medical history.. you should be ok. Just follow the rules after surgery.
Good luck.
