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?

Re: Need info on gastric band

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,
