Hi Beth, Well, I am going to a Seminar on March 22. I am trying to get all the information I can. I have a consultation March 31st with Dr. Tersigni, in Coos Bay Oregon. I talked with my husband again last night, and he is so afraid of all the side effects that this might have. He wants to know if there are anyone who has had the lap band for at least 10 years or long with any complications. He just can't seem to understand why I just don't stick with Weight Watcher. I did very well on that program, but then slowly I gained it all back again. What can I say that will help ease his concerns.

Hi Beth, My name is Linda. I have been looking at this site and reading what everyone has been saying. I am trying to decide if the Lapband would be right for me. How hard was it for you to get back on your feet from the surgery and start eating food again. Did you miss it?

Hi, Well, I have been looking at this web site for several days, reading what eveyone has to say about the Lap band. I am 48 years old, and I am tired of being fat. I am a very happy person normaly, I love the Lord, love my family, friends and life. I have tried every diet out there. In 2003 I was at the weight of 314 and in tears when I joined Weight Watchers. I lost weight every week from June to December of 2003. My total weight lost was 67 lbs. I felt so good, but knew I still had a long way to go. One week after Christmas I let my guard down and gained 8 lbs in one week. There I lost my momentum. Then slowly over the years I have gained it back. I am now 300 again. I am very healthy, have no health problems, other than I am very over weight. I am not afraid of working out, It really makes me fill good and my joints are stiff. I have been trying to decide if this would be right for me. I am afraid if I do this, will I fail at this too. Some of the comments that I read scare me a bit. My husband doen't want me to have it done. He love me for me and thinks that I can do it on my own. I have never had a weight problem, until I had kids. I have been fighting my weight for 26 years. Please help with any suggestion that will help me make up my mind. :thumbup:
