NYCNomad 64 Posted January 20, 2018 Thanks everyone! I think the best thing to do is ask if height matters. I was originally considering the lap band (bad idea) and during my initial consultation the dr said he would have to make 5 incisions vs one because I was taller. I initially told him I was 5’9” then but lied even more and said I was 5’8” when I started the 6 months of weigh-ins. And@MattyMatt, you are 100% right! That 6 month period is stupid and I ended up gaining 15 lbs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
