So I have been researching the lap Band surgery for months. I finally enrolled in the classes and setup and appointment with a surgeon. After my first class I was shocked to hear so many negative things about the lap band. The instructor said that there are so many being removed every year because it's not effective and people don't do well with it. The acid reflux with it is unbearable and this list goes on and on. Did anyone else have this issue with people saying its not worth the time or energy doing it? I choose this because I am looking for something that will work with my lifestyle that wont involve removing my stomach. I am just feeling extremely confused and over whelmed.

Thank you for any advice

@@chasingadream Thank you for response and I do think this is what is best for me it has taken me a long tim to get to the point where I needed to admit I need to change. Now I am ready and working hard to make the right choices and hopefully I can find the right fit with the band to help me get where I want to be.
