hi i had lapband 9 months ago. Best thing i ever did. Its sooooooo safe these days providing you find a good surgeon. i was 90 kilos im 5'1 so i was mod obese. i have lost 17 kilos . would like to loose another 13 . I have hit a plateau now and cant seem to shift anymore weigh. dont let fear stop you. If its what you wont do it you wont regret it that s for sure x
