It's been two years since my lapband and I weigh more than when I started. After my surgery, I joined a support group and wondered why I was the only lapband person in attendance. After 6 months, I lost 30 lbs and then hit a plateau for about 5 months and then I moved. I slowly started gaining weight back. Afterward, I met several other folks who had the same issue. Now, I tell people the truth about the lapband. Please do your research before paying for this costly procedure! After hearing the horror stories from bypass folks, I wouldn't recommend that either. The only true and healthy way to loss weight is healthy eating in moderation and exercise. No matter how you try and get around it, that's the fact!
