Hello everyone! I am considering looking into Lap Band surgery, I know very basic things about it. But I was wondering if one of you could perhaps...further educate me on the process before/during/after. My grandmother is very overweight, my mother hit 300lbs before having Gastric Bypass surgery in 04' and they were both really skinny before having kids. I have 2 children now, and am 5'5 and 200lbs. I've tried multiple diets and they don't seem to work, or I can't stick with them, and the weight just keeps coming and a rapid pace. I do NOT want to go the extent of G.B.S. The weight is causing a lot of problems with my knee's and back. I have a tough time breathing just from walking to the road to the mailbox. It's a strain. And with two kids, it's hard to follow a diet, and exercise as needed. So any advice or information would be very helpful! Thank you guys! A lot of what I've read so far has been helpful, but I'm kind of looking for more details about the recovery, and any problems you've had.
