  1. Hello. I'm an overweight mom and nurse myself and am getting banded in either Dec. or Jan. however, my insurance is paying so I'm not getting my band by Dr. Ortiz, however, my 13 y.o. son isn't even 5 feet tall yet and weighs 200 lbs. currently. I'm so scared for him as he eats constantly and fails at every diet we've tried on him. We sent him to a very expensive weight loss camp last summer, but he only lost 13 lbs. and has doubled it right back on at this time. He will literally eat until he vomits; he says he is hungry all the time. My family does not support our Lap Band decisions...their advice is to get out and exercise. He is mowing several yards this summer with a push mower, but I don't think that is adequate for the amount of weight he needs to lose. I have made him a Dr's appt. here where we live for bloodwork and cardiac studies...I'm hoping that if he does have a high cholesterol level or anything else abnormal, that will help me show my family that this is necessary. Does anyone else here have any other advice for me that I can plead our case to our family? Thanks in advance! Blessings, Michelle
