Good afternoon every1.... I am a 25y/o mother of 3 children. I am considered obese by medical standards. I spoke with my primary doctor in regards to getting bariatric surgery and he is 100% supportive of me getting the procedure done. I am interested in gettting the lap band because the rate of weight loss seems healthier than that of the gastric bypass. Also its reversible and the of course the bypass isn't. There are other medical reasons why my doctor is so supportive of this surgery. I am scared of surgery but i see that its done laproscopically which is less invasive. But would any1 recommend that i get this surgery????

thanks 4 responding. i am ready 2 make drastic lifestyle changes in order 2 be healthier. i even talked 2 someone that i work with who has had the lapband. i am excited @ the thought that i eventually with hardwork and dedication along with the surgery i will be able 2 finally lose my weight and keep it off. i no this isn't a miracle weight loss procedure. lol. i am also going 2 get my children involved and have them eat healthier foods and limit the unhealthy foods they intake. can u tell me what procedures occur b4 the actual surgery. if thats not asking 2 much.

I was hoping for some1 to tell me the process b4 the surgery because i just started the application process for bariatric surgery. I am also looking for a support group or something of the sort. If you guys can help i would appreciate it.
