My family Dr. recomended Lapband surgery in 2007 and started everything on its way. I would for sure do it all over again, just wish that it would have came about sooner in my life. Recently had to have a revision, but am back on the road to recovery and to getting the rest of the weight off. Sure there is times when my mind wants to have a big plate of food, but I am not hungry when that happens. And I have to step back and remember what I am eating for. I am eating to live not living to eat. And it is a GREAT feeling to feel full with jsut a few bites.
