I am new to the idea of LAP BAND. I am still researching, but I do have an appointment with a doctor next Monday. I was researching a few months before my ortho doctor told me that I should consider having WLS. I just don't know if it is going to be ok because of my age. I am no spring chicken anymore. I have learned a lot lately, but still have a lot of questions for the DOC Monday. My husband is very supportive, don't know about the kids, I have mentioned it to them but no response. I will appreciate all the info I can get from this forum.
