can someone get the LAP-BAND®® if they aint over weight . im 31 and slowly gaining weight ...that has been inposible to loose . my mother and grandmotherS are big latina woman they just stop tryn after years of giving it good eforts .what if this my chance to stop it before it gets out of control . i do eat healthy but my portions control is not good i wnt to have self control but i fail, i exersize often but dsnt help . can i get this done not to loose weight but to prevent my self from ganing it????

has it been done before anyone know???

please keep in mnd i do eat healthy and im not crazy just looking at my options . i have been gaining at least 1 pnd a month for the last 3 yrs . im not over weight becouse im always on a diet . im so tired of not hvn control over my weight.

To me....that's how I got to 250 lbs...so I think it's a brilliant idea!!! Stop the gaining while you can. I understand. But insurance companies are a whole other thing. You may be able to find a doctor to do it (if you can sell it and pay for it too).

I don't think you are crazy. I wish I could have stopped my trend of gaining a little at a time year after year.

I wish you luck!

I doubt you'd get an insurance company to pay for it, but perhaps self-pay it could be done.

i know insurnce wnt cover it . i would hv to go to mexico in a few years . how much would it cost with out insurence? in mex?
