  I am 41 and a disabled nurse, I just recently asked my dr. about the lab-band. It is the safer way to go, can be done laproscopicly, can be removed or tightened and doesn't require the constant intake of vitamins and minerals for the rest of your life and you eat what you like, you just cannot eat as much. As a nurse in a hospital, I had many patients who did the bypass and they were in and out of the hospital and some did not make it. It can cause lots of other health problems related to infections and you aren't supposed to eat regular foods as you did before. Please check into well before doing it. My dr. did not think it was wise and said the lap-band was the safest way to go. Your friend, Tabitha
