Sorry I was trying to type and my phone was going crazy. I have seen so much negativity on lap band on this site. It is pretty discouraging. I felt this was the right choice for me but now I am having doubts with all of the negative post. I hope my band is a success!

Opps hit send by accident.

I meant very effective if used correctly. I have a lap band as well as my husband. We have both been very successful.

Do not be discouraged.

My two good friends and a cousin all had the sleeve two are failing the sleeve. Gaining back weight now.

I and my husband have had the band almost 5 years. Glad I choose this option for the reason of its adjustability.

It comes down to the skill of the surgeon and compliance of the patient in my opinion. I just had lapband surgery in October and I'm happy with my decision.

Had lapband surgery 10/12/16

I'll be celebrating four years banded in mid January. Lost a ton of weight and gained back my life. I know that sometimes the band will not work even if the person is totally compliant but the chances are much greater that if you are compliant, the band will work well for you.

Good luck and don't second guess your choice if it truly is what you think is best for you. I chose the band because it was reversible and less invasive. It was the right choice for me, and hopefully will be the right choice for you.

I understand every letter of your first note.

Pay no attention to the things you've read. Your band is only weeks old with a rosy future as your partner. Your part of the partnership is the lion's share. Look in that direction and learn to read the band. You'll be so much happier than if you spend time worrying about something that hasn't happened.

You're good.

Agree with the others. I presume it is working for you now. So continue to work it. Many people are successful with it. Don't worry about anything that you don't need to worry about. It isn't a productive use of your time and energy.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
