Hi All,

I will be having my surgery sometime in the end of February I hope. Just one more meeting with the surgeon. I am a little aprehensive.. but excited too. This has been a huge decision for me, since I have 2 children to think about. I am a little nervous about the after part and if I will be successful at this. I have not had very good success with any other weight loss plan in the past.

Please someone give me their input. Thanks so much.

Read all you can on this form. It has lots of info.

I am a little nervous about the after part and if I will be successful at this. I have not had very good success with any other weight loss plan in the past.

All I can say is that I've never encountered someone who had no doubts, no anxiety, and was sure of what they'd lose and how quickly they'd lose it. I researched this for 5 years, and was second guessing myself up until I was under anesthesia.

And also, this is not a weightloss plan. You can't compare a weightloss plan to the band. Apples & oranges.

Yvonne, congrats on this life changing lapband. I have been banded since June and definitely do not regret it. The recovery time is easy I think. The only difficulty was the soreness of the port site. Good luck.

Hi Yvonne,

Good luck with your lap band choice.

Everyone worries just before the time comes - it's natural. I was really taken aback by the recovery time - was fine 2 days later - just bending hurt a little - a week later I was right as rain.

Let us know how you get on.

Take care,

Yvonne
