Wow!! Reading these posts is very discouraging. What is the Lapband suppose to do for you again?

You're welcome. And thanks for the link.

Any air traffic controllers here? I'm wondering what, if any restrictions, the flight surgeons puts on you if you decide to get a lapband. Thanks

Dang! WOW!

Now now ladies!! Calm down!!

Thanks for the info Jachut.

Down here in Texas they do!! HAHAHA! Thanks for the comment Doddie. Reading this forum over the last few days has given me a better understanding of what to expect. Im thinking that lapband may infact be good for me. Thanks again.

Thanks for the comments. Whats the long term outlook for the band itself? Does it have a life expectancy? Its not going to start breaking down years down the road is it? Is there any info on that kinda thing out tthere? I know lapband hasnt been around that long, but Im sure the question has been asked.

Anyone else have any input? How are things once you reach your goal weight? Do you "ease" up on things? Whether it be what you eat or whatever...and still maintain your goal weight? Thanks.

TQUAD & lellow, Thanks. Thats the kind of promising information I need to hear.

Thanks Jachut. You get full when you eat, but what do you do about the appetite? How do you fight it?

Oh ok, thanks. Well that doesnt sound like a bad thing.

Wow, thanks for the review. I will have to keep this in mind.
