Hello, my name is Chris. I'm seriously considering getting the Lap Band surgery done. I'm 5'10 320lbs at 21 almost 22 years of age. I've tried every diet, every work out routine, and every thing else you could possibly think of to lose weight. I want to get down to 240lbs.
My mother had the surgery in 03 and lost 180 lbs. She was also the first person to get pregnant after getting the surgery (which went fine). We both believe this would be my best bet, and would change my life dramatically for the better.
I'm trying to get the same doctor she had, Dr Vafa Shayani. I'm not sure how to go about setting this up with him though, any thoughts? Oh also, is there any possible way to set up a payment plan? I don't have insurance
Thanks guys.
Here is a picture I got from a website that would show how you look if you were to lose a certain amount of weight, this is if I lost 50 lbs.
