Hi everyone!
I had my surgery May, in N.Y., and it was very successful so far. What i'm curious about is Tennessee's requirements for Lap-band surgery, particullarly if there is an age requirement? I was just visiting my Mother in Seymour, Tn., and she is struggling with her weight and health. She seems to think she is not a canidate for the surgery because of her age, 70. Are there any 70 year old Lap-banders out there? I feel my mom is still young, but can age rapidly if she doesn't get her weight undercontrol. I know some of her health issues will not go away with weight loss, but they would greatly improve. Any information would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks to all,
