I just attended a seminar last night on both the gastric bypass and the lap-band. I've decided to go with the lap-band. I'd appreciate any input from others who have had the lap-band done. Do you lose weight even quicker if you up your exercise? Has anyone had to have plastic surgery after they were done losing all the weight or did you exercise enough that your skin tightened back up? Is the post surgery diet easy to follow? Did you feel hungry the first few weeks after the surgery? Hope to get some answers. I'm still a little nervous about the whole thing. Thanks.:clap2:

hi hf2havefun

I'm a week in with the banding i have not felt hungry yet . i lost 17lb the first week . its the best thing i have done for me . as far as the surgery goes i think it depends on how much weight you have to loss in the long run and how fast you loss the excess weight , i know my self i will need att and chest up lift as they have already gone south

Thank you for the info. That helps a lot. I have my appointment with the surgeon on May 31st already. I can't believe how quick it's moving.
