Amanda Hyde 0 Posted May 23, 2013 Hi everyone. I am in the beginning stages of getting the lap band. I have been overweight for the past 12 years. Always getting super motivated on diets only to lose weight and gain it all back and then some. I am currently 235 lbs and 5'4. I was wondering if anybody has independent health and what they expect from you to qualify for the lap band Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
