I have booked everything. My date is April 27 in TJ with

Dr. Kuri. Anbody have him as a doctor let me know. I have so many emotions right now. I have not been able to lose the weight by myself and keep it off. All that I read from the Lap talk the lap band is the same. I have a bm of 34.

And I really want to have a healthy BM. I have been down once before in my life and it felt great!:thumbup:

Does the Lap band work? It sounds just like a diet. Only with a regular diet your hungry with a lap band your puking and spiting.:thumbdown:

I have had the lap band since Oct 27, only puked 2, and both times were due to my own insane eating. I am healthier than I have been in 10 years, lost 63 lbs, and at this moment in time would repay the full 16800 I paid for the surg in the begnning. Its not the same as a diet, as dieting was something I did for years and lost and regained the lbs lost, this is a lifestyle change that partly forces you to work at it, but its not always easy and its not for someone who really is not 100% open to change. Its a tool, as you will hear a million times, not a miracle. I am glad I did it, for myself, my family and friends. This is coming from a Canadian who has spent the money and is not rich. But happily skinnier and skinnier every day. best of wishes to you.

Thanks for your reply, 10yrs good for you! There's a part of me that is really excited too.
