I absolutely would do it all over again! I do wish that I had done it sooner but hey, better late than never, right? Lap-band has definitely been the right choice for me and I can tell you that it is absolutely the best decision I have ever made for myself. I LOVE my band!!!

definitely would do it again... my health and life have improved 100 fold. I only wish I had done it at least 10 years ago but I know I will have more quality of life for as long as it last. Any issues I have had were from my not doing what I was supposed to do but I get back on track easier than on any other program. I am very fortunate to have had the best surgeon ever do mine and a really great support team at home.. My husband and daughter and grandkids are my biggest fans.I am very blessed.

Yes I would do it all over again. I am extremely happy with my RNY. I just wish I had been brave enough to get it done 10 years earlier.

Definitely i was banded when i was 29 been over weight since i can remember. I love my band

Do it again in a heartbeat! ! Wish I was brave enough to get the band 10 years ago. ..soo refreshing not to constantly have all your head space consumed by food and for ME the risk adjustments complications difficulties and dangers are nothing compared to being obese. Obesity is harder.

Love my band and my new life ????????????

No question. I would do it again, but gastric bypass or the sleeve instead. The band certainly worked, but it's been very painful and annoying. Also the significant possibility of a slip or erosion pushes me towards another type of WLS.

I love all of the positive response to this question. I am going to be banded next month and reading the post from all of you beautiful people make me look forward to it and helps me not be as scared of having my surgery. Congrats to all of you for your weight loss and improved health and happiness:)
