Would You Do It Again



Recommended Posts

Only thing I would change would to have learned in my youth that exercise and good diet choices would have prevented this.

If you had it to do over would you get the lap band or would you go with something else like the sleeve maybe. I'm doing my research on the lap band I just have so many question like can you feel the band.does it bother you while doing any activitys playing with kids , exercise,sex just any everyday activity. Do you have any regrets??

I have no regrets. Not one! To answer your questions...you cannot feel the band. It is around your stomach. You can feel the port but it's just like a knot under the skin. It won't bother you at all. I am very active with my friends kids and my year old granddaughter. No restrictions....in fact the weight loss has improved my activity level.

Exercise isn't a problem...nor is sex. In fact both efforts are improved. I tell everyone about the band who asks, I am proud to tell people I have finally found the answer to losing and keeping the wait off!!

Best of luck to you

Most often, as with any WLS it's not the actual tool that fails, but failure to use the tool. A mechanic can have all the greatest tools in the world, but we all know the the tools can't fix the car, unlessthe mechanic puts them to use.

Thank you for all of the info!! I appreciate it.

      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
