Hello,
This is my first time posting in the forum. I recently had my surgery on March 27, 2013. My BMI wasn't that high 30.5. I was really undecisive if I should ge the lapband. What made me realize is that I don't want to struggle with my weight for the rest of my life. I'm 21 & have many years ahead. I've tried every diet and I love working out but still struggled. So that's when I decided. I do not regret the choice of getting the lapband. I have already lost almost 7 pounds in 2 weeks. Went from 168 to 161. Of course insurance didn't cover. But like I said I do not regret getting the lapband
