Can you tell the rest of us the conversion of pounds and stones. I for one do not know but am very interested. Thanks

Kathleen and MindWing, I relate to both of you. I was wondering about trying diet without band, to see if I could stand the hunger. I also have Fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue with my life consisting of pain, sleeping and no life. I am sure though I could go through the flares a little easier without all the weight. I went to Jenny Craig, lost 35 lbs., tried Lyrica for fibro, lost all ambition,couldn't lose more and now have gained 40lbs. Eeek! I feel this will be my only hope. I have to take a step now. I am a basketball with feet, in bed, painfully sleeping. ok. Sense of humor, only thing intact.

Hello all, Just checking into info on this surgery. Do I want to do it? Any input is appreciated. Yes, I need to do it. Any input is appreciated. I'm 62. Am I destined to be the saggy baggy body? With fibromyalgia, most excersise is not done without great pain. Thanks for any input.
