  1. My name is Ahmed, and im from Egypt, 23 years old at the moment and Ive finally took the decision to make the lap band surgery. I feel 3 weird feelings #1, soar throat and pain around the throat every time i burp or breathe deeply. #2, cant take a deep breath, and sometimes pain in the stomach while trying to, is it cause of the incisions? or is it the band itself? #3, pain at the shoulder? Would be nice if you can share your experience with me, as its a new dilema for me and i havent called my Doctor yet. Thanks!
  2. according to the enormous amount of dietry doctors ive visited i am over weight, and i dont use pounds and feet for my measures, i live in a country where there is no place for such stuff hehe im 109 kilgrams and my height is 186 cms my ideal weight should be 86, and ofcourse i do want to go below weight and grow back muscular. thats why i believe in the lap band
  3. Hey there, im new to the site and im actually happy to join to take advice needed from people who are thinking about undergoing the surgery or people who already have a lap band inside of them. Im 22 years old turning 23 soon, and im 240.3 pounds on 6.10 feet tall, i am overweight and i dont like the shape of my body to be honest, ive always been fluffy and fat all of my life, and as i grew up and saved the money to go and do the surgery im a little bit hesitant at the moment. Im excited cause i know that after several months il be good looking and that il be happy, and more self confident but i dont know if i should at this age or not. Im a Lawyer currently unemployed tho cause i resigned 2 months ago, but i am pretty sure that once i get back on track and get employed again there wont be that much time for exercising, joging and the like. What would u do if u were at my age and overweight?? P.s: i had my surgery schedualed on the 20th this month but i postponed it, till i take the final decision.
