Need info on gastric band
I was diagnosed six years ago with fibromyalgia. Since then I have steadily gained weight and now have a BMI of 39. A rheumatologist and my GP have advised a gastric band to help me lose weight as I can no longer exercise due to the pain and sheer lethargy and exhaustion. I really don't know enough about how it has effected people to make an informed decision. Does anyone out there have any personal experience they can share?

Hi,
To add to what Helen has already said we also ran an online clinic on CFS/Fibromyalgia/M.E back in August where experts were answering any questions posted.
Here is the link to the clinic - viewforum.php?f=451
I hope there might be some helpful information for you in there.
Do update us with how you are getting on,
