Friend wants lap band

This is a long distance friend 20 years older than me. I really want to try to talk her out of it. Are there links etc I can send her?

    Don't try to talk her out of her decision. That is like others talking you out of your choice. Support her and her decisions. that is what a friend does. If she does all of her research, she will naturally go to the option that she feels is best. She will also see the high incidence of lap band/realize band reversals.
