Hello, I'm new to this site and am just reading some of the post. I will probably come across negatively also, but I'm kind of comforted to see, I'm not the only person who's getting discouraged etc. and had others who've had this procedure been very open and honest with me, I may have chosen not to do it. I have learned, if one has been successful with the lapband......they deserve a HUGE pat on the back and applauds because THEY did it!!! As one spoke in another post, it is all about one personal journey and their own determination to make it work. I fall in the category of thinking it was going to work more for me than I'm finding, thus my disappointment, but more in myself, but also in the fact, had I known before I'd have chosen to make myself eventually stick to a Weight Watchers program lol. It would have been much cheaper and like this procedure, it's a lifetime change of eating habits. Although I can no longer eat bread or pizza, there are many other foods my stupid, food addicted mind has found to eat that will go down with ease, thus my lack of weight loss. Like anything in life..there are good, bad, positive, negative, etc. I like honesty, period! What works for one, may not work for another. I pray you find peace in this journey and success for yourself!

Hello, I had my surgery March 2nd and may have lost 20 lbs total! I have had 4 fills and although I am "tight", I can still eat things that aren't good for me. I'm as frustrated, but I had a different concept of how this works. I didn't realize we have to diet so much along with it for it to work. Had I known, I wouldn't have done it...Weight Watchers would have been cheaper lol I hope you find what works for you soon!!
