Getting ready to take a huge step in my weight loss journey and getting healthy. I’ve read several negative Lap band experiences on here. I’d love to hear recent success stories. If you had it to do over, would you do it again? Has anyone had to have one reversed?

I’m bypass would never have considered band & my surgeon said in 3013 they were considering taking them off market due to slippage.

Being that's 994 years from now, there's plenty of time to re-consider all your options. (And here I thought I was the master of typos. Thanks for the laugh, counrtygirl. Wait is your user name a typo, too... or was "countrygirl" already taken?)

I’m actually a country girl & have 47 acre farm & that’s what ppl call me

Oh excuse me Missouri-Lee’s Summit I accidentally put 3013 but meant to put 2013 but keep smart comments to yourself.

I couldn't resist, countrygirl. It was such a cheap shot to pick on such an easy-to-make typo. Shame on me!

I lived most of my life in the city until my widowed mother remarried a bachelor farmer with 1000 acres in SE Kansas. I loved living in the country. My stepfather raised steers and had a lot of land set aside as HIGH GRASS PRAIRIE full of native wildflowers, blackberries, etc. He passed away two years ago, age 92. I loved him dearly. (He still has two older sisters living, btw. How many 92 year olds have older siblings? One is 97, the other 96).

Back to your user name. Is it misspelled because someone else signed up as COUNTRYGIRL or was COUNRTYGIRL a typo? I won't be able to sleep ever again until I find out.

BTW, my father grew up in Tennessee. We spent every summer there. In Spring City near Chattanooga.

I don't know what got into me. I've been writing irrelevant blabber with no rhyme or reason. Being it's 3:30am, perhaps sleep is in order.
