All of the great replies!!Thank-you
You guys are all just great!! thanks for taking the time to help me
out. for the last 3 months I have been thinking that I was going to
have to have this surgery open.I know that i still might have to if
ther are any complications.But a least I know that I have the
laparoscopic option.I was leaning towards a lap -band for that
reason. Until resently ,I thought that the band was much safer and
had a much Quicker recovery time.I now see that problems can arise in
the lap-band too. What I think is critical here,is the bonus of a
very experienced surgeon no matter which surgery you chose.Tracey.
