Hello,
My name is Alex and i'm 18yrs turning 19 in September, i live in Miami, i recently had a check up with my pediatrician
and spoke to her about the lap band surgery. I am interested in going through with the the surgery, yet after doing my
research and reading about all the complications i'm a bit hesitant to do it. Some of the research has lead
to me to the DO's and DONT's, issue with me is that i have a passion for dancing and for the home cooked meals
that i really enjoy (including the one's they tell you not to eat when having the lap band) I know that it is a
life changing decision. I'm afraid of not being able to do those things that i love, including dancing, theme
parks, etc. I currently weigh 220 and i measure 5'7, my BMI is 34.
I have seen some of the videos about the lapband and all the success stories,
I have an appointment to attend the gastric band seminar this upcoming Tuesday,
i would really appreciate it if you would share your thoughts about the issue of
making my decision.
