I want to start off by saying that getting the lap band is the best thing I have ever done for myself. I would do it over again in a second. I had my surgery 1 and 1/2 years ago. I have lost 120 lbs and have about 70 more to go. I paid cash because my insurance would not pay for it. I am saying this with a problem as I speak. I have had 7 or more fills. I lost count. I lost restriction after a fill last week. I am going back to my surgeon tomorrow. I have no idea what is wrong. Could be fixed easily or could mean another surgery. It definitely scares me that I may have to have another surgery because I don't have the money for it. But bottomline, it was worth losing 120 lbs. As with anything else, we overeaters can mess up the weight loss by cheating the program. I have not lost as much the last 6 months because I have resorted back to some of my old habits. After I get this problem corrected, I am going back to step one to lose the rest of my weight. I am worth it and so are you!
