You will get a lot of good info and support here. I hope the lap band will be right for you. I self payed for mine two years ago and it is the best thing I have ever done. I have lost weigth slow compared to a lot of people but iam wearing a size 8 or 10 at the Gap and have 10 pounds to get to normal BMI. I have never dieted or exercised since I got my band but it really keeps me from overeating.

Looking for a (Lap Band) Dr in South Africa

Hi everyone! FINALLY people with the problem as me! I also have PCOS and IR. Doctor put me on glucophage, in 20 days I have lost 8.5kg's, but I need to lose weight extremely quick. I saw a neurologist today who recommened gastric banning (I had never heard of it before) but I don't know what to expect and think about it. Should I consider it or should I not? I got married last year September 2010 and My Hubby and I desperately want to have kids but the gynae refuses to operate until I am under 100kg's. I have struggled for 15 years to lose weight....and I lose quickly the first few weeks and then I struggle.....HELP!!!! Do you know the estimate costs? Thank you for your help! Steph -

What changes have happened in your life post-op?

Hi Girls! I am really considering this surgery (if you can call it that), I currently weigh 145.5kg's and I have been struggling to lose weight forever!!! First time I heard of this was today. Does it have any side effects? I am trying to fall pregnant but the gynae needs to do ovary drilling because my ovaries are inactive but won't do it until I am under 100kg's. Can the band be removed? Any idea of the cost's involved, I live in South Africa! Any details you could give me would be really helpful! Thank you Steph -
Hi Meekie, I hope you are well! I am currently thinking of having this done...would you recommend it? I am 27 and desperately trying to fall pregnant but the gynae won't help me until I am under 100kg's, I am currently 145.5kg's. Please if you would, please let me know. Email - stephanie@pxl.co.za
Thank you
Steph
