I am new to this wonderful site and first off want to say thank you to everyones inspirational posts. I am 20 years old and close to 300 pounds.:phanvan I have tried everything to lose weight with no success. I believe the lap band surgery is my way to go but I don't even know where to begin. When starting the process how many months usually untill surgery? Does anyone regret it? I just feel like this is my last chance.... thank you
