goes by bmi over here. they RARELY do stapling or stomach resectioning over here anymore. it's considered pretty barbaric. banding is totally reversible, and if you're good and lose a bit of weight prior to surgery, they almost always do it via keyhole. i've got type 2 diabetes that keeps escalating and high blood pressure. my dad died relatively young of stroke related issues, but had also had a triple bypass some years previous. it was NOT a path i wanted to go down. it's one of the steps on the "take care of me, now" path i'm walking down (sprinting is for later, lol)
