I'm new to this site. Have been doing a lot of research into WLS. I definitely feel that the lapband is the answer for me. I'm currnetly about 115-130 lbs. overweight, my bmi is 44.5. Have been overweight since I was about 15 (I'm 33 now) I'm an emotional overeater and am encouraged by the reports I've read from people who've been banded that this does work well. I am currently doing my ins homework and getting my ducks in a row. I'm having surgery on 9-02-03 - a hysterectomy, NOT the band. So, I have to recover from that first! I'll be around for a while- waiting to get everything together. It's great that ya'll have this site, I know it will be a blessing and a great resource as I start this journey.

I was banded on April 1 in Mexico by Dr. Rodriguez. He is a wonderful surgeon and all has gone well since surgery. I have lost a total of 55lbs and I feel wonderful. I was 336lbs before and my BMI was 53. I am now 281lbs and my BMI is 47! The band does not lose the weight for you but is sure does help. Good luck in your weight loss journey!
