I'm thinking about getting LapBand. Is it really worth it?

Hi gang,

**Update**

I've jumped through some of the hoops to get LapBand. Completed my pysche evaluation and passed. Finished and completed my nutrition meeting at the hospital. Went to the LB seminar. And have only 2 months til I complete my 6-month diet plan as required.

However...

After reading the posts concerning fills... and hearing other folks problems, is it really worth to continue to get this thing?

I want to get it because of my health... but some of the posts on here really have me thinking if I should do it.

*starving

*vomiting

and so on.... I'm really concerned and want to make the right choice.

Hi:

Please do not read the stuff about throwing up and straving. I did lap band one month ago. I am not starving and I have not thrown up. If you read all the bad stuff you will make yourself crazy. You are either commited to the process or not. Once you are committed you will only read positive postings. Postings that will help you with the best results possible. This is the best thing I ever did for myself. The hardest part is making the commitment
