I've been told that if your BMI is higher than 50, that you should consider by-pass rather than the band. Mine is higher but I wanted the band - now I'm not so sure... Sandy :confused:
I just started a program at Tufts/New England Medical Center in Boston. Haven't met the surgeon yet. I'll let you know how I make out as time goes on....

Just started the process - waiting to have my first consultation. I'm excited and nervous about the decision to go ahead with the lap-band. I'll add more info about me and the process when I have more info to report. Wish me luck!
