Everything everyone writes here is negative. It all sounds horrible. Can anyone tell me of someone who has had a positive experience?

As an avid multi forum poster, it's very easy to get discouraged with all the negativity. Basic rule of the internet is that there are far more negative than positive people. Any forum you go to, you will have to wade through hellfire and brimstone to find a happy person. Keep looking, they are out there. I'm one of them :)

I'm assuming you have to join yahoo groups to read the messages, so unfortunately I can't.

What I can tell you is that I have had no problems with my band, nothing has gotten stuck, I can eat anything I want, in moderation, and didn't have any problems immediately after surgery.

It's true that most people who are doing well don't bother to come back and let those who need that assurance know. But there are quite a few people on this site who are success stories already, or in the making.

It isn't easy. The emotional part is the hardest for me, but the band is fantastic, and I would do it again.

And I HATE needles!

Those posts are written by people who are to tight and choose to be so. I was too tight at my last fill and just stuck it out till it loosened some it took about a month. I will never do that again but now I know what too tight is and never want to do that again. My experience with the band has been great except when I was too tight. I would do it again in a minute! Being too tight is not good for the band or your body.

Well, I've had my band for five years almost and I'm still a happy camper. Its never ever given me any trouble and never restricted me so much that I've been miserable and unable to eat in any given situation. I can always tackle something of what's on offer, i lost weight easily, I keep it off easily, I love love love my band.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
