I am 41 and approximately 170 pounds overweight.
I was considering the Lap Band procedure and am doing a report for an English class as WSU.
Has anyone had the procedure?
Anything you wish you had know BEFORE having the procedure?
Any regrets?
If you have considered the procedure, but decided against it, why?
If you have had success with another plan and would like to share, please do.
Any response would be greatly appreciated, not only for my report but it is time to do something.

Do a search for lapband, some here have had it done, as well as other procedures. You'll get more repsponses from those who opted against having obesity surgery.

My brother had the stomach bypass thing done a couple of years ago and he had alot of problems with it so I just cannot see myself going through that, I don't think I would make it.
Have any of you had it done? How about the Lap Band, i hear its alot easier on your body to have it.
