I was open to either, but the more research I did and after info seminars and consult was sure that lap-band was NOT the path I wanted to take. Had the RNY and haven't regretted it all all. In fact, this week I am at GOAL! Yay! Lap band requires a lot more follow-up visits to adjust the band, too, and I am 110 miles one way from the facility.
My Doc no longer will do lap bands after studying stats and doing revisions. There is still one surgeon in the group who will do them if a person insists or insurance does, but he does very few.
