Anyone with a BMI of 27, 28 or 29 gotten the band?

If you have a BMI below 30, can you please let me know:

* If you have the band or are considering it?

* Where you got the surgery, the state and the name of the doctor?

* If you selfpaid?

I have a BMI of 28 and am currently researching the possibility of getting banded. I live in the New York City area and would prefer to have the surgery locally.

Thanks so much!

    It is my understanding that no lapband surgeon (with morals) would band someone with a BMI of 28. It is major surgery and is designed for those who are morbidly obese or obese with co-morbid conditions.
