Help! Which surgery?   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #373 of 934 |
I am trying to decide which surgery to have. I don't really want to
do the RNY. I was in the process of getting approved for the
Silastic Vertical Gastroplasty when someone told me about the Saline
Banding surgery. Is that an outpatient surgery? I know I need to
do something but can't decide which surgery would be best for me.
I am a 32 yo single mother. I am 5'8" and weigh about 300lbs. Any
information would be a great help.

Thanks,
Tobie
