    Please give me some advice…. I am a 43 year old female who had a complete hip replacement 14 years ago… No problems… I have over the past several years have gained approx 50 -60 lbs.. I was told when I received my hip that I was not to get heavy.. Well I have and I have tried everything… I am now considering the lap band surgery.. My concern is will the surgery cause my bones to become weaker… Which would pose a much greater risk…. Please give me some info I’m really concerned about my future!!!
