I have read so much in the past week about everyone's success as well as problems. Sometimes I feel so excited about my decission then I read something that makes me doubt my decision. I know I need this,I have been large the past ten years. On more diets then I care to admit. The last year I have lost 50lbs and able to keep off 40lbs. On the other hand I still need to lose 80lbs.

Would you do it again with all the problems, discomfort, success, and the price ?

until I actually have my surgery, I think I will be doing lots of rethinking !

Yasmina :omg: :faint:

Well I have had no problems, no bad dis-comfort and insurance paid.

But sucess yes. I am 18 pounds from goal and would do it again in a split second.

I am only 1 month out and I would do it all over tomorrow!! I am acutely aware of the POTENTIAL complications. I feel the benefit for me outweighs those risks for complications right now.

That is wonderful, glad to hear you are both doing well. I know once I do it , it will make a big difference. I am scared !

Thanks so much

Yasmina

With all my problems and yes I have had a few I would do it again in a heartbeat

ME 2 I WOULD DO IT AGAIN, THE BAND HAS GIVEN ME BACK MY LIFE, A FEW COMPLICATIONS IS WORTH IT ALL .

It's a very personal decision to have weight loss surgery and having doubts before the actual procedure is normal. Make a list of questions to go over with your surgeon and review it with him/her.

Yes without a doubt i would do it again, i just wish i had heard about when i was younger. No second guessing here, best decision i have ever made

Maria:)

Without a doubt, there is no question that I would do this again, and again.

There are 10,502 members of Lapbandtalk.com.......I think the ratio of listed complications is pretty normal considering there are risks with any surgery.....its all relative.

Despite any issues I've had (with are really nothing), I would do it all again. I wish I had FIVE years ago.

100% yes if I had the money

Would I do it again?

Absobloodylutely!!!!!

As other said...wish I could have done it sooner.

And...yup; pretty normal to have the worries/doubts etc during research phase. You're doing the right think asking all the questions.

Well I really want this, I start to feel scared when I read about all the different things that are just part of being banded as well as the things that can go wrong. Years of weight going up and down i have had enough. I want to know everything that anyone can tell me. It really helps me to hear how great everyone is doing. It is great to see the weight going down !

I wish my surgery was today, there would be no turning back !

Yasmina:)

Yes most definitely and I'm the queen of fill and unfill issues....and have had several bouts of reflux and pain; but when it gets down to it....I don't think I would every have gotten 50 lbs off any other way!

Without batting an eye....Absolutely!!!!

Wish I had it 20 years ago!!!!

10 years ago for me!!!
