I was all set to have lapband surgery and I went in for an EGD today. I asked my gastroenterologist his opinion on lap band. He was against it. He would rather see his patients have gastric bypass. I was shocked. I thought he would pick lap band but he said it was putting a foreign body into a body and then having all the fills done. Also he said people only lose about 40 percent of the weight they need to lose with the lap band vs. a lot more with the bypass.
Anyone want to comment that has gone through either or done more research than I guess I have.
Thanks
