Thinking about Lap Band/ Many Concerns

[Mayo 0]

:help:I am considering Lap Band. I have been overweight most of my life. I am only 22 and I need to loose around 100 pounds. I have many concerns about lap band.

1) I want more children and I am affraid that the lap band can cause problems. Can there be problems during delivery?

2) I am scared of having excess skin. Has anyone else had a problem with this?

3) I am really scared I will regret it.:cry

4) I will be misserable watching people around me eat the foods I enjoy, and not be able to have them too.:hungry:

5) Can you feel the band, does it hurt?

6) I am diabetic. Higher risk of getting an infection. Any diabetics had this done.

7) The doctors I am going to use have only done either 450 or 550 lap bands! They are are from Texarkana Texas? Anyone used doctors from this area?

Sorry for all the questions, just trying to make sure this is right for me!:nervous
