Is there someone who had the lap band to lose minimal weight b/c of the yoyo dieting (30-79 lbs).

Hi Ramwil,
Have you spoken to any doctors about this? I'm not a doctor so please do take this as medical advice. Doctors don't usually even consider weight loss surgery unless you have a BMI of 35 or higher. They will consider less than 35 if you have co-morbidities such as diabetes, sleep apnea, etc.
You can check your BMI out by using our BMI calculator here.
You should speak to your doctor and see what they say about your weight loss. They may be able to help you lose without surgery.
You can also read reviews from people who have already had Lap Band surgery, here.
