I have been considering LB for several months now. I am 5'2 and 210 pounds. However, I was in a car accident and had several bones broken (neck and ribs), and a torn artery. Because of the artery, I developed an aneurysm. I was given a stent, and I will have to take one baby asprin everyday for the rest of my life. I have read that asprin can cause upset stomach with the band, and band erosion (sp doesnt look right to me). Does anyone have any information on this? I intend on going to a seminar and speaking with a doctor as well, but I am in the process of moving from Georgia to New York, and buying a house, so I am so busy right now I just dont have the time. But, in about a month or two I will be ready to talk to a doctor.
