I was 65 years old and weighed 280 pounds and was without energy to do anything. I decided to get the lap band surgery in Mexico because of the cost. I couldn't afford the cost in USA. The process was easy and the surgery was fast and painless. I returned home the next day. I have lost 65 pounds and I have leveled out. I still need to loss 15-20 pounds and I have joined a gym to help. I would say the only "complaint" I have is my energy level is still low but other than that I'm good. I do not regret my decision.
