my advice is dont do it diving into debt will increase your stress level which can increase your hunger sabatoge any effort to lose weight the lapband is only a tool not a cure try losing without the band worth 1 more sincere effort.Lots of us are in lapband hell can't eat much and not losing weight still MUST change poor eating habits try try again save you money sincerely, dr. stan

Considering Lapband..should I? or shouldn't I?
Your post really hit home I was banded 3/08 and had similar considerations 9 months later I still have same thoughts however my Internist said I have never been healthier my BP is stabilized blood sugar normal lipids best ever Still hungry at times, need to get this fill thing corrected,, a key to this procedure ,lost 20 of my 35 lb goal I know I will not pigout today, I cannot, that is the key benefit to will I live longer?, probably, who knows??? I would do it again however your life will change a trade off this eating malady is always a tradeoff. You will still be able to go out and enjoy food small bites and chew chew chew. good Luck
