Hi,
I am new to this forum and I am considering getting a lap band. My BMI is roughly 33. I have gained 3 lbs per year for the last 20 years. I now have high blood pressure and cholesterol problems. My problem is I don't get a full feeling until I have eaten a lot. I work out 3-4 times a week and eat a normal diet - some good, some bad stuff. I will need to pay for the surgery myself since I do not have a 35+ BMI.
Anyone out these have a similar situation?
It seems to me like the surgery will help me to get my eating quantity under control and that will help with my overall health.
Any perspective would be appreciated.
