Answers:
The Lap Band will work. It will take longer but its also healthier than the gastric, i'm sure you already know this...
But this is to answer hannibal... I have the Lap Band, so this is why i am answering your question.
For one.. everyone is different, and what worked for you may not work for everyone else.
'Cause i know personally that when i was dieting and excercising i was still hungry and had the urge to eat eat eat.
But having the lap band helps, 'cause you dont get that urge and when you do eat a small meal you stay full for longer, where as when just dieting you would eat a small meal you felt hungry faster.
This is where willpower comes in.. but still not everyone has will power.

I do have a question: if you're resorting to a lap band, you've tried diet and exercise and haven't had results. However, you were told that you must eat right and exercise for the lap band to work. How exactly do you see this as a fix.?
I lost about 100lbs in about 10 months by exercising and eating right. Feel free to email me if you want to know how I did it. Like I said, lap band or gastric bypass, they're going to have you dieting and exercising ANYWAY, so you may as well skip all the pain, recovery time, risks, and extra skin from losing weight so quickly and give it another go.

Not unless you have health problems. You also have to show documentation that you have been on numerous diets without success. The lap band will work though. It may take a little longer, but it will. Health Question & Answer
good luck. I hope it works well for you. whether the bypass will be covered by insurance depends on your policy. you'd have to talk to an agent to find out.Health Question & Answer
