Hello I am considering having the lapband done. I go to a consultation on July 13th. I have battled with weight for over 20 yrs now. I don't want to be a skinny minny, I just want to be healthy for my family. I want to play with my kids and not cry out in pain. I am at my heaviest weight ever right now at 290. I am 5 ft 4. Any advise would be great!
