  1. It's not the procedure that makes the difference, it's you. If you make the commitment to change any one of the procedures will work well for you. Yes there are positive and negatives for each procedure. You and your doctor are the ones that need to make the choice. I am very positive about my lap-band experience and I would say that I am 100+ percent satisfied as well. My one year anniversary was Jan 3rd 2012. I have lost 153 pounds (without a fill). I have lost 42% of my starting weight. By the time I am done I will be half the man I used to be, I have about 30 more to go. Any procedure is just a tool. You need to make the commitment to change your life. The procedure will just help you along the way. You will be getting a lot of training along the way. It may seem like a lot of stuff to take in but it is worth it. The improvement in my health is remarkable.
