Hi everyone,
I feel kind of silly coming on here, but didn't really know where to turn. I'm trying to find out how overweight someone has to be to qualify for the lap-band. I know the home page of this website gives you the lap-band calculator, but I thought I could get some better or more real information from actual people who have undergone the surgery or are going through the steps of trying to get approved for the surgery. I am 30 years old and weigh 215 lbs. at 5'5", so I'm about 85 lbs. overweight, no other health issues that I know of.
Thanks for the input!!!
