Hi,
I am also in this possiton, its such a hard and scary choice! Obvioulsy we're only going to have this life changing surgery once so we need to make the right choice.
When i met with my surgeon he asked me what procedure i wanted but i asked him to advise me and he said the bypass due to my eating habits and struggle with dieting.
Since meeting with him i've spoken to others but to be honest im still at a loss but now im armed with a lot more info so im going to speak with the nurse specialist in Feb as i know i need the right thing for me and my needs.
Good luck

Congrats on having your date too! We'll be joining the losers bench very soon!
Do you have to do a pre-op diet? When do you start that? I was supposed to start the 1st of Feb, but was just told that the doc wants to see if I can "knock off" some more weight before the surgery, so I am starting tomorrow. I'm kinda nervous about it, but I'm going to give it my best shot!

I start pre_op diet tomorrow, although I have started making some changes this week in preparation
