Hi everyone. I'm Maggie, from SC and went to my introductory mtg on 12/8. I'm definitely interested in getting the lapband procedure, but like most people am concerned about possible failure. Dr Bohr was stating that lapband folks typically only lose 55% of their needed weight using the band. I know that percentages are made from averaging all the success rates, so the range of loss can be from small to large.

:hungry: My typical eating pattern is grazing, which he said makes it hard to succeed. And sweet-aholics, too, which I also am to some extent.

Looking forward to hearing everyone's comments. Maggie

I use grazing to my advantage. I eat small portions throughout the day and it works for me. If you use it that way and try to omit the bad foods you should be okay.

I also eat many very small meals, skipping the bad foods. I am srinking all the time. I coughed the other day and had to catch my pants before they fell all the way off. Some problems were just not planed for, LOL.
