I am scheduled to have the lap band on tueday, oct 21. since my last dr. apt i have lost 25 pounds on my own. i now weigh 183 (5ft 10in) and want to lose another 30 pounds. i can lose the weight, but cant keep it off. I notice alot of people with the lap band gain their weight back (carney wilson, al rooker, etc.). Since i only need to lose another 25 pounds, do you think i should have the surgery. is it worth the surgery, etc... oh, yeah its going to cost me $5500 of my own money. Your comments are greatly appreciated.
