It's been sixteen months since I had a lapband inserted around my stomach. I was 59 at the time. I do not regret having this surgery at all. Sometimes I feel for my old life but only for moments. I have had no problems with fills personally. I ask for a numbing shot first but I don't know if I really need it or it's just in my head. I am currently at 9 cc's in a 14 cc band and I feel very close to where it will stay for life. I can walk for hours and not tire. I would love to run but ankles say otherwise. (probably too many years overweight) lol Surgery wasn't bad; had four little incisions so healed quickly. I no longer take diabetes meds and my blood pressure and cholesterol meds are the lowest meds available. I, personally cannot feel the band at all. You can feel the port if you press enough but not in such a way as to make it noticeable to another person looking at you. Hope this helps. Sorry I didn't answer earlier. Hope it's not too late for you.
