my name is Buck and i started lookin into lapband when i got to 335 pounds. i lost 25 pounds on the pre-diet and went into surgery at 310. i had my 2nd fill today, and i wieghed in at 262. got a new tattoo started when i reached my 50 pound mark. i have followed the guidelines to the "T", and are reaping the benefits. to my amazement i enjoy eating healty, and now is second nature. i think as long as get ur workouts in and know that the band wont loose all the wieght for you, it can work effectively. atleast it is for me.
