  2. my advice is dont do it diving into debt will increase your stress level which can increase your hunger sabatoge any effort to lose weight the lapband is only a tool not a cure try losing without the band worth 1 more sincere effort.Lots of us are in lapband hell can't eat much and not losing weight still MUST change poor eating habits try try again save you money sincerely, dr. stan
