I have a Lap band and I'm almost positive that as long as you have a BMI at 35 or above you qualify for a lap band. Check our my Drs Website Dr Pedro Kuri. He is a fantastic man and the facilities and after care are above expectations.
Lap band Surgery should only be for people who are severely obese. Recommend you get connected with a group to help loss weight such as Weight Watchers, etc that is a healthy way and is a life change.
