Has anyone heard of this study? I'm going out to california on the 18th for a consultation. I just wanted to hear from any other low BMIers especially anyone that has participated in the study.

Is the the study you're referring to?

Hi, i just found this: Effectiveness and Safety Study of LAP-BAND Treatment in Subjects With BMI >/= 30 kg/m2 and < 40 kg/m2 - Full Text View - ClinicalTrials.gov

Its a study looking into the outcomes of BMI 30 banders. It hasnt finished yet, however, if you select the tabular view and then scroll down and select the link next to "change history" there is a list of trial study kind of stuff. Its all a bit basic, but from what i understood, it said that BMI 30 banders can lose a minimum of 30% of their excess weight in the first year.

Might be worth coming back to in 2012 when the study finishes.

Hope this helps,
