lifestartsnow4me got a reaction from LADYBUG50 in Is Lap Band a Cake Walk To Losing Weight?
I was banded in 2004. I started at 267 and lost down to 160. The amount of work that I put into to losing that weight I'm sure I could have done on my own. It was just as hard to lose as before surgery. The difference was that I was just totally motivated. Once I got to 160 I started vomiting a lot and regurgitating everything up in my sleep and had horrible reflux. I even aspirated during a surgical procedure. I had all saline removed and ballooned back up to 242. Got a revision to the sleeve 6/23/14 and have lost 34 pounds to date. I'm excited to have the band out of me. My surgeon said that the scar tissue from the band was the worst he had seen. He said at first he couldn't even see the band when he went in. There was even scar tissue under the part of the band that was wrapped around my stomach. There is no telling what a few more years of having the band in could have done to my health.
