I am 72 and I had Lapband surgery in 11/2010 I have lost about 35 lbs. I don't eat much. I cant walk much because of bad hips and lower back pain. What words of encouragement can anyone give to an older person like me. I would like to communicate with an older person that has had lapband.

Thanks for the replies to my leg cramps. I have added potassium and magnesium to my meds. So far no help. I will contact my doc.

I my name is Doris. I have been banded for 2 years. Have been having very bad leg and food cramps at night, for about 2 weeks now. I was wondering if this could be due to something I am not getting in my diet. Has anyone had that problem. I am 72 and have not lost near as much weight as I would like to. About 35 lbs lost. Not sure what I am doing wrong. Please advise.
