If you needed glasses, would you all of a sudden stop wearing them if your eye's mildly improved? I don't think so, this is like an aid in the grand scheme of things coupled with healthy diet and exercise, it just helps to make things a little easier, why remove it down the road if there is no reason to? I'm with Lise, I lost 75 lbs on my own, kept if off for a couple of years but then regained 30 and feel like I'm struggling everyday (it would be so easy to regain the rest plus more), so by lap banding I don't have to ride the rollercoaster every day for the rest of my life. (being banded the 25th of march). Good luck to you!!

hiya seattle girl, i too am in the city and getting banded on the 25th of march, going to mexico as i am a self pay, i think that if you respect and take care of yourself pre and post op, you will minimize your risk of complications. Look forward to hearing all about everyone's experiences, and getting to share mine.

i have to tell you, i think that your issue is coming from the meal replacement drink, those can be pretty hard on people who do not normally use them, they cause the gassy discomfort you are speaking of, either try a different brand, or sub in something else in place of it.
