Hi everyone,

I hope that it is okay that I am posting this on here.

I am a college student who is currently working on a big project for a class. I have some questions I need answering just about your general experience with the lapband/weight loss/etc. I had originally sent these questions out to a few family members, but they have unfortunately not gotten back to me.

Your help is GREATLY appreciated. Please let me know if you would like to see my finished project.

2. What was your weight prior to surgery?

3. Were you hesitant to go through with the surgery? Why or why not?

a. Yes, it's a big step and there are risks with any surgery. I was also afraid it would affect me socially because many gatherings are focused around food.

a. No, but insurance aid for it.

5. How did you feel right after the surgery? (physically, emotionally, etc.)

a. Physically, in pain due to gas. Emotionally, thought I had made the biggest mistake of my life. That changed.

a. 229

7. What types of things do you do to try to maintain your current weight (if any)?

a. Counting calories, avoiding sugar, and drink lots of Water. I slipped and didn't follow these rules and end up gaining weight back. I'm now back on track.

8. Do you tell a lot of people about your surgery? What are people’s reactions?

a. Just people I can trust, close family and friends.

9. Is there anything else you would like to add?

LapBand is a tool, not a cure all. One must still work and follow the rules to lose. By the way, I am a doctor.

Thank you all SO MUCH for helping me out. I really appreciate it.

If you will email the questionnaire to me at tiggergramma@gmail.com, I will respond too.

If you send these questions to my profile as a message, I will be happy to help!
