I'm 30.and a mother of 3. I've seriously struggled with my weight since my.last child. I'm currently 205 and with a Bmi of 31. Trying to see if this would be the right choice for.me. I seriously work out and even have been on serious diet meds but nothing seems to.keep the weight off me.. so this seemed like the.next option. I only want to lose 60-65 pounds. Is it possible to lose just a certain amount? I'm scared I.will get way to skinny. Any advice would be wonderful!!!

Unlike gastric, where you don't really have control of where you're body says stop, the band can be adjusted to restrict or allow more food intake, which will then correlate to weight loss or gain.

I'm still undecided if this surgery would be a good option for somebody with a bmi around 30 or less. It's a major surgery and with that comes risk.The band just like exercise and diet meds is a tool.I'm in the losing phase with my band and i learned real ouick that without some major life style changes getting the band would've been a waste.The band may be just the thing to help you keep it off but other changes may also be needed.Good luck.
