Please help me clear up my mind

Hi,

I am 30 years old 150 pound, my goal is to reach 100- 110 pounds.

Can anybody please talk to me, will this op would help me reach my goal? And has anybody in this body range available in this forum?

Doctors will not consider any other operation due to my low BMI, lapband is the only option that few suggested. I just wanna be sure that it gets me there.

Tnx
