Will it help?

I had surgery to remove two disk from my neck 1 1/2 years ago. It did not heal correctly and now my doctor wants to perform another surgery. I currently have a BMI of 37. I am looking in the Lap Band. I am hoping losing the weight will help my neck pain. Does anyone have experience with this? Will this qualify me for surgery?
