  1. I know three people who have lap bands. All three have major problems. I did comply with every rule. Was in constant pain. In sincerely glad that not everyone has these problems. I do feel that the lap band is more problematic that most. Of the three others I personally know, not one pound lost and many problems. I don't like those odds.
  2. I had my lap band in 2008. It was in place for 8 months. Put a hole in my stomach. Had emergency surgery to have it removed and hole repaired. Lost 110 pounds on my own. My niece has lap band in 2009. Came loose, went up under her heart and stopped it! No visible weight loss for her. My advice....find another way.
