Men tend to lose weigh fasterthan women. Is this true with lap band?

Thats so true!! Trying undo habits is difficult. Especially in this country where the pace of life is fast. We are competing against the clock for more time.

Wanted to say hello to everyone!! I had lap band sx on 9/10/12. I had local and general anesthesia. Ddn have much pain except for the gas discofort. I had two previous sugeries and experienced severe ausea and emesis. I received nausea mrd during my ooeration and needed nothing in recovery. Surgery was at 1200 and left at 530. Staff were wonderful. My starting weight is 286lbs, i have fu appt on sept 17.

Just wanted to introduce myself, I have been following this forum for a while. I am very excited for this new chapter in my life!! Have been thinking about weight loss surgery since 2003, but thought I did not need surgical intervention. My highest weight was 308lbs, lost 20lbs on my own by excercising and making the right food choices. Now I have an additional tool to get to my weight goal!!
