You might need to give us some more info! What do you weigh? Why are you over weight etc etc.

different procedures will suit different people, based on eating habits, size, weight to lose, personal preferencesresearch and make the decision that's best for you
And a bariatric consultation will help you make your decision.

Fit and fantastic!
I agree with Bally, you need an appointment with a bariatric surgeon who will (should!) do a really thorough assessment of you and make a recommendation. My advice would then be not to contradict it, if you want your journey to have the best possible outcome. They really do know what is best. Good luck x

Hi and welcome.
You definitely need to research and speak to a surgeon and/or specialist dietitian. I began thinking I'd definitely have a band but after going to the seminar and getting some information from the surgeon I changed my mind and now think a bypass would be better.
Once you speak to your hospital I'm sure it will become clearer.
Good luck x

Hello and welcome Have you been accepted for surgery?
My consultant told me people who struggle with portion size do better with a band and people with a sweet tooth do better with a bypass. He worked out what would best for me by looking at a week long food diary and decided on a bypass??
Im not saying thats guna be the same for everyone though!
I was given in depth paperwork about the band, bypass & sleeve. You could ask if they have anything like that to read through to aid your decision?
Good luck with whatever you choose!
