  2. Thanks, i am looking forward to not worrying everyday!
  3. Hi guys, i appreciate the time people are taking for the sake of helping others. I have been living in Costa Rica for 5 years and decided to get the gastric sleeve here, the hospitals are 5 star and the price is about half. Im 33 male 5'6" and about 218 pounds. I have a fairly low bmi for this procedure but i have been struggling my entire life. How does this surgery benefit people with relatively low BMI's if all post op measures are followed? Do men experience hair loss as well? Thanks for the help!
  4. Hi, im a newbie and appreciate all the help. Im a 33 year old male, fluctuating from 175 pounds to 215 pounds since i can remember. I have a binging issue and not a frequent eating issue. First question.. although i am low on the BMI, will the lap band be effective and the surgery of choice for people who stuff all meals and snacks into 1 private nightly event. Does the band work equally on men and women? Im sure most of my disorder is in my head but i think the harm of these weight fluctuations are worse than a surgical solution. Thanks
