  1. Hello all. My name is Tiffany. I am 27 years old from NE Ohio. I am a wife and mother to 2 children, and a step daughter. I am in the research stage right now, considering if lap band is the right option for me. I would like some input from those who have been there as to what to expect in the beginning. What are the requirements to qualify, what testing is generally done (i know that it does vary) What is required leading up to surgery as far as diet, restrictions, etc.. I have read all about the surgery it self, but they don't tell you the down falls of what to expect before. And the restrictions, etc. I want to be well informed making this decision, as it will be a life changing decision. I have had problems with my weight for many years, unsuccessfully losing weight, despite diet and exercise. Now is the time to make a change. And i feel this may be my best option. I would Love to hear from others who have been there Thanks in advance Tiff:smile2:

    Considering Lap Band

    I have not met with anyone as of yet. I am waiting to get the information packet. To read it all over, and trying to do as much research as i can to see if this is something i really want to do. Since your in this area, any suggestions of a surgeon? Who did you go to, what hospital, etc. I am from Leavittsburg, u? I have been thinking about this for some time, but have just started to get serious about it, actually admitting to my self that i am to big. I need to do this, or something NOW. I really didn't think i would qualify, but the lap band site says i may... It was a real kick in the butt, combined with the new season of biggest loser and my weight is comparable with those (i wanted to try and get of there, but have never taken that step.) Not that i ever would expect to get on the show, but i would definately take advantage of it if i could.
