A member asked:
Is lap-band surgery a good option for someone looking for weight loss?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lap band: It can be. On the other hand, it may also be a bad option for you. Different operations suit different patients, and you need to consult with a qualified weight loss surgeon to determine which operation would be best for you.
