this was in response to mariegabrieleee who thinks her lapband was great with only a 61 pound loss in three years????? Crazzzzyyyyyy. get serious what are you doing eating icecream and candy? Get serious or give up that is pathetic.

three years and only 61 pounds lost with lapband? With gastric you lose all your weight within a year at most and keep it off, and you think that was success?? That is major failure.

Do your homework one out of four peple have bad side effects and need to have the lapband removed. I think bypass is safer, You have a forein body in you via the lap band. It erodes your throat and stomach. Now my esopageous does not work, I have trouble swallowing and food gets stuck in my throat. I am not even very overweight and I have had pain everywhere, gas bloating, vomiting. It made me feel like such a loser, thinking I needed this tube in me to maintain a healthy diet. It is garbage. I hate it and am having it removed. My band has slipped. If you ant to do it because of extreme obesit do gastric bypass. at least IT WILL work. No doubt it is proven and you will not have tubes and portals and clamps in your body. No no no listen to me.:thumbup:

No. I have lost use of my throat muscles, a common side effect never told about. Got pnuemonia, a common side effect, My band has slipped. It is stuck up by my throat. The doctor said it had not but I knew and had an upper scope which proved it. Now what probably band removal and permanent damage. It never even helped me lose the weight I still felt hungry and just used self control. I am having it removed. Read the horror stories it could be you.
