Bless your heart -- I just went through the whole information thing as well. And I am doing it without the surgery for right now. Our program requires you not only to lose 10% of your body weight, but to attend classes and group for an entire year, then you can have the surgery. And you have the option of two kinds. The bariatric open Y, or the lap belly banding. I would choose the later if I were going to do it. Right now the mortality rate is just too high for my comfort level. So far I have lost 200 lbs. I started at 468 and am now down to like 260 something. I realize how important this is to you, and if I can help you and support you in losing your 10% so you can have the surgery, I sure will. Thanks for signing my comment section:) hugs!
