Hello, Has anybody had gastric band when at 35 BMI and had good results? I would be very interested to hear your experience as I have my booked for sept and still not sure of it being the right procedure for a secured weight loss. I am not convinced I will not loose what I need and/or on the time I would like to. CrisBela

Hello All, Have just booked my band for the 3rd of Sept but I am not sure it is the correct procedure for me. I have always been overweight and after a life long battle I decided to do something about (surgically that is) as I have never managed to keep weight down after slimming and dieting. That I must add, I have tried them all. I am 1.63cm (5"3") and weight 90KG around 14st I think. My BMI is 35.4 and the surgery is costing me a small fortune (£8.000,00). I can not afford it not giving me results as I will not be able to afford another procedure in case this one fails. I also do not want to wait 5 year to loose all my access weigh and I am thinking that Gastric By pass may be my best and more reliable option. Can someone help me please? CrisBela

Hi, I am in the Uk and getting banded on the 3rd Sep. However I am not sure I made the correct choice. I am still not sure if I should have gone for the by pass. How did you make your decision and why? The reason I am not sure is because I am a finacing it myself and can not afford it not having results. CrisBela
