YOU GOT TO BE KIDDING ME! (I have to post here). I am not banded! But I would have a hell of a heartburn with spice chicken and jalapeno. And margarita on the top? wow! dam I probably have to put the finger to really get it out...because I would feel sick. I do not have appointment for the band yet, but is interesting to learn about your comments. Good thing I can't eat that now. And definetly avoided later. Yea I like pizza.... but still get heart burn and load myself with tums and still have heartburn, can't even imagine what would happen with the band... Good luck!

Geez! this is scary!!!! I am reaserching to put a band on, but I am hearing here have been some problems, and you have paid to put it on and then get it out??? and if you pay cash? insurance will not cover to get it out.... Is it worth ???? New to this, Crazy...

Hi, I am new in the forum and researching the lap band procedures. I am glad you all got in this forum and have comments, strenghts and success stories. Would like to know from some of you done the band few years ago ( may be 5 or more) if were able to lose the weight and reach your goal and able to maintained and for how long. Also, after you "perfect fill", is the port ever needed? will it close and not be use? is there infection or other complication for having a port or tube in your body? thanks Crazycibertalk
