I need to know if I am a candidate

by Argie123, Mar 02, 2008 07:36PM
I am 26 yrs old  243lb/ 5 feet 3 inches. I was a little over weight as a child but in my teen years I was in healthy weight , but after having babies my weight kept going up non stop.
Now I have being over weight for the past 6 years. I feel very sad I am not enjoying my life, my husband or my kids. I tried pills, gym, exercise machine at home.....
Do you think I could be a candidate for the lap band??

Definitely you are a candidate and doesn't matter how long you have been overweight. Go see your dr and then a bariatrc surgeon, but I really feel that you are a candidate BUT please ask your dr.
