Hey lucy, I had the same thing today, but my doc said it may take a couple of days to feel restriction. Also, my doc couldn't find my port today, because of some swelling. He thought he finally found it, but if after a week i still didn't feel any restriction that i would have to have x-rays done. So it may just be that you need to wait a few days before feeling restriction. Hope this helps, you aren't alone, I am going throught the same thing.

Hi Mike, I know how you feel. I thought the same way as you, me have the lap band? yea right! I also had no health issues, but like you I am sure they are coming. Well let me tell you, I have been banded for a week now, down 12pds and feeling better everyday! I started at 283, and my insurance also covered it 100%. My thinking was that I have tried every diet, some more than once and I was at my last straw, and then I found out my ins pays 100%, what do I have to lose? If this doesn't work it can be removed. So I feel like I am in win win situation. I can say for myself, I am so glad I did it! But I am also just a week out. Hopefully some other people can give you some insite that have been banded longer than me. Hope this helps and good luck to you whatever you decide! Tonya
