At 18 years old I had the lap band procedure. I was successful at first and lost nearly 80 lbs. I was on cloud nine! My success did not continue because of poor choices made. Lap band is not a miracle procedure, you have to work at your health. I guess as a naive 18 year old I thought differently. I am now 23 years old and weigh more than my pre-op weight. I'm not an adult and sick of it!! I decided nearly 2 weeks ago I want my life back.. I have lost 10 lbs so far. I guess the moral of this story is lap band is a tool not a magic fix. If you get off the wagon like myself, it will be there. If you eat the wrong foods don't beat yourself up like I did, keep pursuing your healthy weight. I'm so thankful for the lap band, it is wonderful! Good luck to all of you who have just started your journey. If you ever feel like giving up please contact me, I can give you a few good reasons not to!
God Bless,
Cortney
