I REALLY know how you feel. I gained 15 lbs between Feb and April when I met with my new surgeon. I lost it post op but instead of feeling like I am down the 23+ pounds I've lost I really only feel like I've lost like 8 because I shouldn't have gained the 15 in the first place :devil: I am so excited for you to have your surgery date! Just remember it is ALL worth it. NOTHING tastes as good as skinny will feel!!!!!!

You can have a lap band and a small port. There is a new lap band AP port II that has a port as small as if not smaller than the realize band. It is the one I have... it is only about the size of a dime. It's tiny. The lap band has come a long way and in my opinion still far out weighs some of the negatives to the realize band. It all depends on your doctors contracts and whether or not they have access to it but it is being more and more widely used. I had a SLIP (single incision) surgery with the port II and it is wonderful! Good luck with your decision!

How long post op until you were able to resume having sex??
