Received my lap band eight months ago and have lost 44 pounds to date. The past eight months have not all been smooth, getting stuck, having deflates. The hardest part is conditioning myself to eat slower, taking much smaller bites and the trial and error of which foods I can and can not eat anymore. I also find that the weather! affects my band if the pressure is up my band seems to swell making it difficult to get foods down, would not have believed this but others at the doctors office had the same thing happen to them. Overall I am happy with the decision I made to get this procedure my surgeon Dr. Adam Smith is wonderful and his office staff in Forth Worth are the best.

Good luck with your continued journey. I am meeting with surgeon for first time this friday, so glad to read about the weather and pressure issue, as it is something i will discuss with her. Again, good luck! and wtg on the 44 lbs.
