Hi all, I am new to this site, just found out about it today from my surgeon office. I am seriously looking at the lapband as my surgery of choice, and I was advised I should come on and meet people that have it, and make sure I am ready. 

Thank you, 

Alice

Welcome! I would suggest looking through old posts and using the search option to find some answers or experiences you want to know about. You can also post questions and we will be happy to answer them.

Hi Alice,   this is the first time that I have ever done this.   I had my surgery over one year ago.   I have lost some weight.   Suffered alot.   I would not consider myself a successful.  I am 57 years old. Now stalled.  Start a new Dr.  on Thursday.  Hope that magic happens.   For you,  I would seriously consider my age,  how much you want to loose, your tolerance and more.    Keep reading and learning.   April

Trying to read and learn. I am 45, need to lose 110 at least.
Thank you everyone.

 Hi Alice, I am 47 and have about that much to lose also.
