Hi! My name is Steffie in WA State. I am considering the lapband procedure. My husband is not sure of this idea but he is willing to go to a seminar with me. I would like to hear from you about the pros/cons. The joys/struggles. Was it worth it? How is it living with the food restrictions. Is it safe to have the procedure done in Mexico and what about aftercare in the States? That's a good start. I must say I admire those of you who have done this. Your experiences would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.:help:
