Alright that's good to know, thanks. I'm excited and nervous at the same time. I know 165 pounds doesn't sound like a lot but when your 4"11 it is. I've lost weight before but always put it back on. And then 6 months ago was put on blood pressure & cholesterol meds. Still having a lil problems w my pressure but can't up the dose bc my heart rate will get to low. There's also big family history of heart disease. So I'm really hoping the lap band will help.
