I started thinking about getting the lap band about three years ago. I went to a seminar and, even though I met all of the requirements, I was discouraged by a nurse who said I wasn't overweight enough. I let it go after that. Two years later, after still having lost no weight and continuing to have health problems, I talked to my PCP about weight loss surgery. She referred me to a surgeon in February of this year and here I am 7 months later approved and ready for surgery on the 20th of this month.
