What are weight requirements for lap band surgery?

My brother stopped caring about himself after he tried to lose weight many times and now he goes straight to the kitchen and just eats and eats. I tell him about his weight and his problems but he keeps saying he's going to get lap band every time and I tell him that he can't get it because of his weight. He is 430 or more pounds no muscle and like 6ft 4in. I heard that patients have to be 50 to 100 pounds over weight. Any information about the weight requirements for lap band surgery?

Your brother needs to consult a physician if he wants to lose weight. He is certainly a candidate since he is more than 200 lbs over his "healthy" weight. But he has to be willing to work hard to obtain his goals.He can't continue to do what he's doing and just think surgery is the final solution, it's just the first step.
