I had at one time considered Lap Band surgery but my medical insurance only covers stomach stapling. There's NO FREAKING WAY that I'm having more parts cut out of me! So I opted to go the route of time, patience and perseverance. However, for anyone who has to go through either procedure, take good care of yourself afterward.
I was lucky to have a LAVH (Laprascopic-Assissted Vaginal Hysterectomy) in 1994 (still have my ovaries, hence still cyclic) so no big scar across my belly. So all I have are 4 punctures that pretty much disappeared after a few years.
