I have scheduled myself to attend a local hospital's bariatric seminar on the 13th of October.  I am very interested in getting the Lap Band. I will make up my mind once I find out all I need to know at this seminar.  In the meantime, I have been looking at lots of sites online concerning this topic.  I appreciate all the stories I have read from the folks who have had this done.  I have a concern about all the loose skin that I will probably end up with once I have lost a lot of weight.  I know I won't be able to afford the plastic surgery if I have a major problem with the extra skin.  But I don't want to talk myself out of this procedure because of that reason.  I am diabetic, have high blood pressure and back issues, so I really need to lose this weight regardless.  If any of you have stories to share with me and my concerns I would appreciate hearing from you.  I will let everyone know if and when I am going to do this.  Thanks gang.
