I have been banded for 3 years. I have gone from 350lbs to 198lbs and still loosing. Although very slow. Everyday food is a struggle. All I can tell anyone is dont give up. Food is alot like any other drug. Once an addict always an addict. That is how it was for me. I can honestly say if I had to do it all again I would.

It is ok to feel that way. It has been 3 years for me and I still feel like that somedays. Keep on going and it does work. I have lost almost 150lbs.

:cool: Wow where do I start? I just need to let people know how the lapband has changed my life. I started 3 years ago weighing in at 350lbs. Now my weight is right at 200lbs. I still have about 40-50lbs to go. But I feel like even if I dont loose any more weight I have done something with the band that most people dont accomplish. I just want people to know that the lapband really does work. It just takes time. Yeah I know that it is not as fast as the gastric but I felt it was much safer for me. Just wanting to know if anyone else felt the same thing. :thumbup:
