Hello, I am looking at the lap band process. I am currently going through the six month process required by my insurance company. I don't know if I can go through with surgery or not... I am currently giving diet and exercise a serious shot before taking more drastic measures. My wife is convinced that the Lap Band is for her and is actively persuing the process to have surgery. Is there any long term (5 to 10 years and up) data out there regarding this process? Any info would be greatly appreciated.
