It helped me regain my healthy life.

Julie very true words. For some reason its always easier to find what's wrong with ourselves than to see what's right.

Happy, healthy, energetic, .....Enjoying life!

6 years post op = not one band caused problem.

It was helpful the first 2 years.

The band helped me to like myself

My band gives me the freedom to choose to say "no" to food that hinders my weight loss.

I would do it again in a heartbeat ...8 yrs out now post op

I'm rarely hungry

I get full, instead of eating eating eating.

I'm healthier now at 60 than I was at 50! My Lap band rocks.

Specialk. I feel the exact same gratitude. 60's are much healthier!

I like that my lap band makes me be an active participant in my health and weight loss journey. If I don't put in the work, it won't really help me. If I put in the right amount of effort and follow my doctor's advice, I can and will succeed.

food no longer rules my life.

Just one thing???

Cured my insatiable appetite - hunger, reversed 99% of all my co-morbidities, returned me to the weight I was in high school (45 years ago), became very active - athletic, raised my self-esteem and self-image, more successful in business,

Should I go on??? I could.....

Bottom Line, turned my life around, saved my life, at a point where it was all seriously going downhill due to obesity, too much fat in my system.

I'm 64-1/2 years old and I feel and act like I'm 35-40.

Was banded Jan 2011, never had a problem (other than me getting in the way)
