My sister got lapband surgery 2 years ago, lost 100 lbs in one year and has it off. She is now the "skinny sister". I have always been thin but in past several years have put on an extra 70 lbs and developed medical problems. I have researched this for over a year, changed my mind, and have now decided to go forward and my surgery is scheduled tomorrow. I'm pretty sure I know what to expect as I have had several surgeries, but then I wasn't 60 yrs old. Hoping my age doesn't interfere with my success. I'm excited and nervous but I feel completely prepared.
