Hello All, I am A 30 year old Male 5'11" 260 lbs. I am Interested in the lap band . I have been 40 pounds over weight for 7 years and I just cant shake my beer gut. I have passed the physical an the PT condintiong test for U.S. Customs. I am not out of shape that bad (can run a mile easly). I just like to eat alot. Would this procedure inhibit my ablity to run and exercise hard? What about geting hit or falling? will the band take the punishment? My mother was the one suggesting I get this done, as I have never heard about this procedure. Thanks Robert
