I was banded 9-4-2009 and I am interested in meeting other banded people. I go to a local WLS support group, but I am the "LONE BANDER"!

WLS= weight loss surgery! |
My friend has the lapband....I wish I could get it done :o(
|
yes i am
|
I am kinda sorta considering something like this. I don't know. What I do know is that I need to lose about 130 lbs!
|
My neice had it done 2yrs ago. She is very happy with it.
I have heard you have to be at least 100lbs overweight in order for them to do it, however, I know a gent who is way over 100lbs, he probably weights in at @500? and they will not do it to him until he loses 100lbs. Too big a risk during the surgery. |

Too big a risk during the surgery. and yes, that gent needs to lose some before surgery, but he is actually more of a sleeve candidate than a lapband. I hope he finds someone who can help him. |
