Hi everyone!! I am scheduled for Surgery 4/23/2008, and it seems like in the last few days everything I have read or seen about the LapBand has been negative, and to be honest is scaring the crap out of me. I am really considering backing out. I am not so much worried about the day of surgery of even the few days or months after. I am worried about 5-10 years down the road. I mean how much to we acutally know about the long term durablity of the band? I have heard stories of people ending up REALLY sick after a few years of the band, and the tube coming loose and embedding itself in the stomach. Then having to have major surgery to have it removed. Does anyone have any positive stories from friends or people who have had the band for years??:confused2:
