I'm going to be banded on the 17th, and my Doctor in Houston told me that the band was for life. Thanks to the group for sharing and helping us newbies out with what to expect. TerryP

Wow, group thanks for all the reassurence. I am going to have the surgery on the 17th. Yesterday was a hard day cause I spent most of it second guessing about every desicion I have made in the last two months. Inculding LapBand Surgery. And now after reading here today it's just normal. I too have been doing a lot of research and have jumbled myself up. I found this fourm yesterday and it has helped so much. I have had people tell me, well if you can do the liquid diet why can't you do it on your own without surgery??? But I have lost weight only to almost gain double back. I found out about lap band in February, I was considering gastic by-pass thank God that this has opened up for me. You guys in the forum are soooo helpful and needed thanks. TerryP-
