I'm just starting the lapband process and making all the appointments with the necessary drs. I don't even know if insurance has approved me yet. I was so gung-ho about having this done until I started reading about deaths associated with lapband. Does anyone know how often death occurs bc of lapband? Or WHY death occurs? I chose this bc gastric bypass was way too scary and severe. Now I'm wondering if this is something I really want to do.

B-52, I am a little confused. Do you mean exercise and follow the plan with or without being banded? Either way, 70-80 lbs in a year would be fabulous!!!!

Thank you all so much for your input. I am 34, 5'5", 232, no comorbidities. So I guess I fall into the "generally healthy" for surgery. Your comments have all really helped and I am getting excited about it again. I think I will feel much better after the group info q&a session in a couple weeks. Thanks again to everyone who replied!

Rachael, thank you so much. I want to do this so badly. I just worry about something terrible happening. I have 2 small children that are EVERYTHING to me. I can't fathom leaving them. Hoping to get more info when I go to the first group session. Thanks again. You did ease my angst a little.
