I understand what you're saying.....but for me, the lapband IS Magic, and it is not hard work at all. As a matter of fact, it is the EASIEST thing I have ever done i n terms of loosing weight and reaching my goal. It may have been hard in the early stages, bandster hell, but once that was out of the way it became very natural and automatic.

But do I believe everyone will be successful??? My answer is NO! Not Everyone!

And it is not because of the band, (except in a few medical cases) but because some individuals refuse to take that step and let the band do what it is designed to do. They want to hold onto their old habits, refusing to understand that is was these old habits that got them in trouble in the first place. They have been brain washed into believing you must "Diet" using your own will power and self discipline, the exact same thing I failed at time after time before I had the surgery.

Maybe some people feel it's "Too Good To Be True" and cannot possibly be that way, so they refuse to accept it.

I'm going off topic.....your IPHONE had me LOL! OMG! I tried typing on my kindle and I hate it.

I agree that people think it is a magic pill. As for one of the other posters, for me it has been magic, BUT, I also worked on changing my habits BEFORE surgery. It has been one of the easiest things to do. Yes there are moments, especially in the beginning that it is very hard, but that for me was psychological and it lasts a very short time. I could not be happier with my decision and have reached many goals of why I chose the lapband. I still have some to loose but it will have to wait until my miracle baby is born. 17 years waiting and after 1 year with the lap band.... SURPRISE!! Sorry off topic but hard work pays off significantly!!!

Mjv congrats on the baby!!! I heard that losing weight boosts fertility. Im not "trying" ti have a kid but when I start I don't want addiitonal obstacles holding us back! Congrats again!!!!

And I agree, the lapband isnt for everyone. I know several people who werent successful for several reasons - they kept the same old eating habits; they didnt follow up with their surgeon for fills and maintenance; they didnt exercise;

I am a newly banded individual but I think It will work for me. Im learning so much on these boards and from my doc, I have a team in place wanting to see me succeed.

Congratulation to all those person tha work hard to c some result n sagriface to much for c they self helthing n good I happy for everybody, today I when to my doctor appointment to c if all my blood taste n everything is good thanz to my lord n the best thing is tha I lose 13 point in 3 day tha emazing tha make me keep do my hard work n motivate me to do my best of successfully thanz
