Will it help?

[sagld 0]

I had surgery to remove two disk from my neck 1 1/2 years ago. It did not heal correctly and now my doctor wants to perform another surgery. I currently have a BMI of 37. I am looking in the Lap Band. I am hoping losing the weight will help my neck pain. Does anyone have experience with this? Will this qualify me for surgery?

I don't know ...I have not had any of these problems...and I don't know if it would help to qualify you for the surgery...I had open heart surgery and it didn't qualify me to have lapband....

You can have a lap band in mexico with a BMI of 31 and if you have back pain it might help. I have not had the surgery yet hope to in oct I too have back pain and bad knees. My BMI is 31
