One of the best things that I ever did for myself

Best ting I ever did!

I'm so happy that I made the decision almost 1 year ago to start the journey to get the Lap-Band. I have lost 60.5 lbs since my surgery on April 6th (4 months yesterday). I feel great! When I was on WW it took me almost a year and a half to lose 65 lbs.

I was nervous too but I have to say it was so much better than I could have imagined. I went in at 6, surgery was at 7 or so and I was on my way home at 12. I had hardly any pain. It almost was as if I didn't have anything done. I know that everyone is different but that was my experience. Good luck to you! Just remember to do everything that they tell you to do. That will be to your benefit.

Same here.....best decision I've made for myself. Only 2 weeks post op....lost 14 lbs and feel teriffic. Surgery not bad at all....I was expecting much worse. Little pain but very tolerable. Hope things continue to go smoothly. CAT

I agree. I am so glad I had the surgery. I am now down to 215! The best part is, my menstrual cycle returned. I haven't had it since I was tweleve. I thought it would return when I got under 200! Wow it is a unexplainable feeling to have the knowledge I can now reproduce. It made me cry (of course it could have been the hormones too LOL)
