I have a BMR of 39, but have knee pains, back pain, heel pains, and shortness of breath with exertion. I was told about Lap Band about 3 months ago by someone who's husband had just had it. I was interested, but not totally committed. Then I saw someone I hadn't seen in a couple of years. I didn't even recognize him. He had had bariatric surgery (Roux-en-Y), and looked great. That did it for me. That afternoon I contacted the people at Beliteweight.com, and scheduled surgery for 4 (FOUR) days later. Surgery was 3 days ago. I am having pain in the left side and back, but figure that is due to the dissection through the muscle in getting into the abdomen. I fully expect it to go away. I'm on clear liquids, but excited about the timetable of advancing the diet.
