Lap band surgery?
A lap band? They still make those?
Not knocking your choice and if that is what your research leads you to believe is the best option for you then I wish you success with your WLS journey.
I'm not saying they won't work like they are designed to but have known too many folks through OH that have had major issues with them and had to have revisions to other surgeries.

If a close friend told me they were going to get lap-banded, I would chain them to a radiator in my cellar until they promised not to.
