  1. Thank you so much for your reply. I should have divided the first question. I was interested in when the procedure was done and where it was done geographically. Few of these seem to be done in my area (eastern WA) and it appears that having it done in Mexico is not unusual. I am really interested in the "unspoken truths" about daily life. Can you expand on this? I think that this is my concern. Good luck and thank you again. Jean
  2. I am new to this and am considering the Lab Band procedure. I decided to do a report for a research project for an English class (WSU) using this procedure in the hope of solving two issues at once--do I want the procedure and can I complete a satisfactory report for a class. I would appreciate any and all responses. I am 41 and approx 170 pounds overweight. My main questions are: When, where, and how successful has the procedure been for you? What do you wish you had known BEFORE the procedure? Any regrets, anything you would change? Again, thank you for any response, Jean
