Im thinking about getting the lap band but I dont know if I quilify for it im 5'1 & 200 pounds what do you guys think?

I would speak with your insurance. Some cover surgery at 35 bmi others 40. How long gave you been overweight. If its something recent I would ask myself have I really tried to loose weigh. Are you eating healthy. Do you exercise daily? I know those sound like a lot but you'll need to do both even with the band.

I agree with calling your insurance and seeing what their requirements are. Make sure your insurance covers the surgery (some employers opt out of it for cost savings). Also, some will accept you at a lower BMI if you have other comorbities (sleep apnea, diabetes, high blood pressure, arthritis, etc).
