Have any of you had the Lap-Band surgery ? My friend wants to have it done .?

Answer 1

No, but I heard that it was less invasive than gastric bypass. NO cuttign of the stomach, the weight loss is not as rapid (though you lose alot), and there's not that sensitivity to sugars.
You didn't say if your friend was a guy or girl, but if a girl has this done, she can have the band adjusted if she wanted to have a baby.

Answer 2

I have talked to my doctor about it... It needs a lot of care. You have to constantly visit the doctor so he can adjust the size of it. It sounds too risky for me.. I am sticking with the Bypass...
