    I have been thinking about LAP-BAND®® since 2007, yet I still havent made any moves towards having it done. I was about 240lbs then,and 3 years later I am now 270 lbs. so, I need to do something asap....What's your advice for someone contemplating surgery .....
     
    -pros and cons?
     
    -what was your diet like in the begining and what is it like now?
     
    -how often do you exercise?
     
    -did you have anyd difficulties?
     
    -can you drink alcoholic beverages (not a big drinker, just curious)?
     
    -did your insurance cover surgery, and if so what did you have to do for them to agree to cover the surgery?
     
    -what has been the hardest part with having LapBAND?
     
    Any extra info you would like to offer would be great! THANKS!
