Hi everyone, I'm new here and hoping to be banded after August when my private health insurance kicks in. Is there such a thing as being too heavy to be banded? I weigh 190kgs.:smile2: I know that the heavier you are, the more dangerous any surgical operation is, and that scares me. I'm doing my best to lose as much weight as I can before the op. I haven't seen the surgeon yet...I'll be going to Geoffrey Draper.
