I went to informational meetings with my mom when he doctor recommended it for her and I would do the lapband in a millisecond.

I'd be happy to share whatever I learned when I went to the informational meetings with her (from the surgeons and such).

It has to be a personal choice. I would also be checking what your insurance will cover as far as plastic surgery. A lot of people have a hard fight to get them to cover additional surgeries to remove excess skin and to get necessary breast lifts and such.

You know where to find me.
