Hello everyone I am brand spankin new to everything here and have just started reaserching lap band as my Primary care physician just suggested to me I have it done haven't even had my first of 6 monthly weight appointments. I have a BMI of 38.9 with several co-morbidities. I hope to learn much more than I already have, I spent 3 days alone just reading and rereading the lap band system and it looks like a promising tool to help me loose weight and regain my health.
