lap-band as an option?

hi all! i have been lurking on this board and had to comment. most of u seem to have the same problem (stomach being left to big, or stoma) and im wondering if any of u have considered having a band put on..? i was banded 8/10 and as many of you know it is adjustable FOR LIFE. if you gain, or dont lose 1-2pds a week, you will be adjusted. a friend of mine had her bypass done about 3 yrs ago, and has since put back some weight, and her dr suggested she consider putting on a band. im not sure if insurance covers another surgery, especially if you arent 100lbs overweight or bmi over 40. good luck to all of you, stay positive! neither surgery is a "cure all" as many people think. we all have to work just as hard as the people who dont go through a wls. banded 8/10 241/203/under 150
