A member asked:

I am 19 245 lbs 5'7 bmi: 38 i was wondering what your opinion is on the lap band surgery. is it wise for me to get it with my age?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not the band: While there is no formal consensus on weight loss procedures, the Lao band is falling out of favor. See a weight loss surgeon for opinions best suited for you. Just make sure they are part of a program that involves nutrition, medical evaluations, etc. Hope this helps!
