oh and also wanted to mention that I think it's wonderful you posted people need to see the GOOD and the UGLY about LAPBAND... I personally stopped going to the support group because so many people were trying and having horrible results with it.
WOW is all I have to say! I'm so glad the nightmare is over for you and you can find something that will suite you better then the band. It sucks that no one is truly guaranteed success with such an awesome tool as some put it! I still love my band 3.5 years later but I've had my issues with it to and I have made drastic adjustments to my life to accommodate this moody band.
Keep us posted on if you do a revision to another WLS.
