Thanks for your reply. It so happens that I am going to see a doctor about lap-band tomorrow morning. I have seen terrible things over the years with old fashion stapling, but the ban seems much safer and reversible.

Check out on line the R N Y, it is relativly safe.
I have a daughter that had the R N Y no problems, a sister that had the band and major problems.
However, both have few problems.
Good luck and God’s speed - either one will save your life.
