I am currently in the process of looking into lap band, some websites and "quizzes" say I am eligable while others say no. I have tried fad diets, pills, exercise programs, and the weight keeps coming back. I have had high blood pressure since I was 21 and have been on various medications. I really want the procedure so that I can be healthy again. I would like to hear everybody elses' stories also and hope that someone could help answer some of my questions.
