I am SO happy to have my band!! Someday - once it teaches me a few tricks - we will make a great team!! I am still learning to listen to it's subtle hints (which I am sure won't be so subtle after a few fills!!)

This is the best thing I could have done for myself at this time. I wish I would have done it sooner, but now is good too!

Yes, I am! My only regret was I didn't know about it sooner!:eek:

Absolutely! I am so happy that I've done this....Shawn

I have been banded since 2/18/02, I am down to about 370. It is the best thing I have ever done (besides getting clean: no drugs and alcohol in 24 years) I wish I had done it a lot sooned. I did look into the "By Pass", but it was too scary for my fat ass. So when the Ban came out I got right on board. Since moving to Florida the weight loss has been kind of slow. I need a fill, and no doctors down here will do it, what BULL ____!! So I will have to go back to NY this summer to get filled up. But, all in all I am, Sooooooo happy with my weight loss, and the Lap-Ban. I have told everyone about it.

Definitely! I would do it again if I needed to. I have lost 41 lbs in just 4 months. Prior to banding, I gained about 15 lbs per year since being diagnosed with PCOS in 2001.

Another happy bandster here! I'm still working to my first goal of losing 50 pounds (the bottom ticker); around here, 50 sounds like just a little! but without the band surgery, I would not have lost anything at all, and more than likely would have continued gaining. Cindy

Hey Feulman, I've heard of Dr. Grossman from FL who will do fills on anyone. check him out.

I don't regret ANYTHING about being banded. LOVE IT!!

My band makes me wanna :cheer2: :banana :eek: :D I love my band, I would do it over again in a heartbeat. ~Mandy

I love my band.

I love my band.

I love my band.

I Love my band.

I love my band!!!!!

I am so incredibly happy I did this. I think people close to me had doubts because I wasnt so incredibly obese to begin with. I think they all thought it was too drastic. But I've had NO trouble with any foods, yet have lost almost 10kg - in fact I'm down about 12 from my all time high - and I've NEVER lost that much weight all at once before. Let alone kept it off!

But even better than the weight loss is my new relationship with food. It just doesent control me anymore, I eat to live now not the other way round.

I am only 7 days out and I love my band!

Fuelman, I have two fill centers near me on east coast of florida.... check: fillcenterusa.com

I sure will, thank youso much for the info. I live 60 miles north of Tampa, near the coast. So it's a lot easyer to go there then NY. I am so happy, I really don't want to go back, I love Florida.

Thanks again, Butch

thanking God for my band- I think it looks kinda like a lifesaver....and it was.
