Hi, I haven't been banded yet, but I am researching Lapband surgery. My primary care doc suggested it since I am fat, with high BP, pre diabetic and miserable. I would appreciate some insites from those who have had the surgery. I have tried everything. Since I tip the scale at 228, I don't exercise because how can a person 100 pounds overweight manage to exercise. I used to ride a recombant bike religiously. Once I quit it didn't take long for the pounds to pile on and I haven't been able to get it off. I have tried Jenny Craig (almost went to the poor house), Weight Watchers, Medifast, Slim Fast, Nutri Systems and here I am after all that money gone still fat and not so happy. Well, that's my story and I'm stiking to it. I was really glad to find this forum. I need to find other people who have experienced this misery and finally found hope in the lapband surgery. I am glad to be here. Thanks for inviting me in. PS Did I mention I was run over by a 1200 pound horse which is why I stopped riding my bike. Well, at least the horse out weighed me. :redface:
