Hi all - I am considering lap band surgery, but at this point I know absolutely NOTHING about it. Hoping to use this site to do some research, chat with folks who have done it, find out the pros/cons, etc., before deciding what to do.

Thanks in advance for any help or information!

Hey. I haven't had my band very long, but I am very happy that I went through with it...I found the most helpful research at the lapband website, the realize website, websites of surgeons, and seminars :confused_smile: Good luck to you :thumbup:

I can tell you this...Go to a borders or Barnes and Noble or half priced books and buy a book or two on the Gastric Band. Very informative and helpful! Then go to a seminar or two. They will give you tons of info and even more questions!
