pro's and con's of lapband, how many people happy after 7 years banded

ok i'm just wondering if anyone here has been banded over 7 yrs, and are they still happy with there choice of banding? any problems since surgery? ty larry

The best place to post this would be over at the forums....

Hi Larry, No, I'm not 7 years out, just three, but still thankful that I was banded. I wouldn't be medicine free, CPAP free, knee and hip pain free, etc, etc, and the list goes on. My husband has progressive MS and I couldn't lift his wheelchair and put it in the car, or push him when we go for walks (Oh, I couldn't have done that three years ago. As to the actual band, the fills keep me feeling full still, although some of the old eating habits are still hard to break. I hope you have such positive results, and yes, I also hope to have these same results three years from now. Blessings, Nancyb
