  3. After all the sweat and hard work I finally hit that coveted goal. 344 to 220 and I've never felt better. I'm living walking proof that the Lap-Band can work if you commit. If anyone ever has questions for somebody who's been down the Lap-Band road I'm more than happy to share my opinions just post your questions in here.

  12. Hi All, I had lap band surgery around 16 months ago and I'm down about 120 lbs (10 from my goal). I'm 25 and looking to make a career change and was really interested in seeing if their are any careers out their dealing with the Lap Band (besides a surgeon). Was just curious if anyone has an opinion or suggestion feel free to comment. Also not opposed to going back to school to obtain another degree. I live in Illinois and currently have a marketing degree.
  13. Just shy of 15 months since I had surgery. I'm about 20 pounds from my goal I've lost 110 so far. It was the best decision I have ever made. As mentioned before it should be viewed as a tool or aid to help assist in weight loss. If your looking for a quick fix or have no interest in working hard to achieve your goals then this isn't for you. I owe my life to the band and thanks to what it's done for me my quality of life has improved drastically. Nervousness is all part of the experience. Good luck with your decision.
  14. Hopefully this worked I attached these from my phone.
  15. Hi All, Today is 6 months exactly since I had lap band surgery. It was the greatest decision I've ever made. I'm 24 years old and 6'2. 2 weeks before pre op I was 330 lbs. Today I'm proud to say I weigh 247 lbs totally 83 lbs lost so far. My goal weight is 210 lbs and I hope to be there by May. There's no greater feeling then making the decision to become healthier. I went from being lazy to working out 5 days a week and playing basketball one night a week. There's no better motivation then seeing the scale continue to go down. Hopefully 6 months from today I can say I'm at my goal!
