  1. Little Worried

    zwigstrom posted a topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    I am in the process of getting the band and I have a few questions for some of you out there. I need some support. I am really scared about having the band. I am worried about the long term. I am 32 and have a BMI of 40. I have high blood pressure and high cholestrol and sleep apnea. I need something to help me lose weight. I have tried every diet known to man and just can't seem to drop the weight. I am constantly starving. I guess my questions are does anyone have any information about the long term affects of the band? Can you feel the band inside? Is this a lifelong deal or a short term helper? Thanks for the information.
