pebbles99 10 Posted June 16, 2012 I think it depends on your age and history. I have a friend that did the Lap Band, she was 26 at the time and lost about 110 lbs...no issues at all. I have another friend that also did the Lap, we was 45 at the time, with 3 kids and lost about 95 lbs...she had issues. Nothing she couldn't deal with, but she would never put on a bathing suit because of her legs and arms. I think there are ways to have the insurance cover some of the cosmetic surgery, talk to your sleeve surgeon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
