  1. Okay if I sound completely ignorant about this it is because I am lol. Okay 1st off does your doctor have to recommend this surgery to you or can you just go see a doctor who does this surgery??? Sorry but Im a smoker and just wondering if the doctors make you stop that before they do this kind of surgery? also what about pregnancy and the lap ban? I mean can you get pregnant with it or how does that go???
