Help, can someone help with some info? I am 46, am 192lbs (my goal would be 135)am 5'3 with prediabetes, high blood pressure, and sever arthritis (especially in the spine). My thought was to look into this procedure to aliviate some of those conditions. I wonder has anyone had any relif with those conditions after the procedure and weight loss? I think after the procedure I would look into a breast reduction as I am in a DD. What do you think? Thank you

I was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes 3 years ago and I weighed 268 lbs, had high cholesterol, aches and pains in joints and back. I had the Lapband surgery in September 2007 and have lost approximately 40 lbs, no longer have high cholesterol, am no longer considered a diabetic, I feel great and I'm enjoying doing things I have had trouble doing. I'm off all medications for high cholesterol and diabetes. :thumbup:I still have about 80 lbs to go to get to my goal but I'm absolutely happy I had the procedure done.

Good luck!
