I need to lose at least 40lb but find it almost imposible to do so on my own everyone including my family and boyfriend thinks I'm crazy. but I'm considering the surgery late this year in Mexico. are they right is such a surgery too dramatic for someone who is only considered mildly obese.

  10. hello everyone I'm new to this site I have been considering the lapband surgery for about a year. but I have'nt been able to do much research I'm actually considering having the surgery through lite'nfree in Monterray Mexico. Can anyone give me some input on what my first step is. I'm 27 5'3 190lb my insurance will not pay for the surgery. can someone offer some advise, my goal are to lose 50lb and finally have my weight under control. I wanted to have the surgery with lite'n free because they perform their surgery at the oca hospital which is consider one of the best hospital in Mexico.
