I am guessing that they ask you what you usually eat and then advise what is best?

I went in with a band in mind. Ana asked me what my eating habits were like and after I told her, she said bypass would be better for me. The band can be cheated easier.

I dont like the idea of a bypass

The final decision is with the patient. However, if you have a band and it doesn't work for you, some PCT will not fund further surgery i.e. a bypass.

The options are given at the initial appointment and you have the opportunity to talk them through thoroughly.

 

[naughtypuppy]

Can i ask what the differences are with the band to the bypass?

Rach, I think you will have the final say in which op you have. The doctor will obviously advise you what he thinks is best but I dont think he will push you towards a bypass if you really want the band.

Just show them that you have done your research and explain why you think a band is better for you than a bypass.

Have you looked at the BOSPA site rach?

 

[naughtypuppy]

I havnt no...i think that i should look into the bypass more just in case..

 

[Sambucca]

dont know how to post the link matey but its BOSPA - The British Obesity Surgery Patient Association

 

[Sambucca]

hahaha - it put the link in automatically. click on that hun, and it tells you everything you need to know

 

[Brunetteandred]

Looking at the BOSPA site is a must. It is best to research your options and know as much as you can about them beforehand. That way, you will be able to make a better informed decision.
