Re: [centennial_support_group] This or that?

Ultimately only YOU can decide what surgery to have. I can share with you why "I" decided:

1.) I am self pay and Lap-Band is about $10,000 cheaper

2.) I like that it is adjustable.

3.) I don't risk dumping syndrome.

4.) I was only out of work for 4 days (even though HH made it CLEAR this should not be a deciding factor...lol)

5.) The mortality rate is lower.

6.) I did not like the malabsorbtion factor.
