Hi, I am new on this forum so not sure what I'm doing yet. Well... I have been thinking on the lap band. Now that they lowerd the BMI. I am between 33 and 35. Not real sure. I do have high blood pressure, but my concern is I'm 55, but otherwise in good health. I've struggled with weight all my life, but it's worse now that I'm older. I'm just wondering how everyone did with this surgery, lots of questions. I have a consult meeting this month in Erie Pa. Thanks! Happy New Year!
