Hi. My name is Pat and I will be attending my first information meeting Thursday. I have been researching the lap band proceedure for the last year and am very interested in learning everything I can about it. So far, I think this is the one for me. I have a friend who is very pro gastric bypass and not really a proponent of lap band indicating the statistics prove lap band to be unsuccessful. My research does not confirm that at all and so I am still going forward with the lap band. I have had a weight problem all my life, have lost and gained back way too many pounds to count. I will be 65 in November and am looking forward to a better quality of life with this tool. I want to be more active but the pain I experience now prohibits a lot of exercise. I also have high blood pressure and suffer from depression. Want to get off all of those meds.

Thanks. I spent the day researching gastric bypass but I still think the lapband is for me. Best of luck to you as well. When will you be having your surgery?
