hmd 7 Posted October 21, 2011 I have recently decided to look into the lap band procedure. I am not critically overweight but have been overweight my entire life. I am looking at the lapband as a tool towards my goal. I currently weigh 260 (approx) and am 5'10" and am hoping to lose the "2--" once and for all I have a family history rotten with heart disease, and most of my family on both sides suffers or suffered with serious vascular, cardiac disease etc. Needless to say these outcomes do not interest me. I am interested in this procedure specifically because of it's adaptability and the less invasive surgery. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
