Im new here and hope to get scheduled for Surg in June with Dr. in Oregon. Anyone here have surgery in Oregon? I have three members of my family who had Gastric Bypass but I am self pay and the lap band seems so much safer and less expensive for Self payers. My question is anyone who previously ate large amounts before lap band, are you now satisfied with less and truly feel full sooner? Dumb question but I want to learn so much. Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi Irisheyes! Welcome to LBT!

Yes, with the right fill level, you have very little appetite and eat less.

Good luck!:D

Irisheyes Welcome to LBT!! I deffinatly see a difference in how much I eat. I am full lots sooner and satisfied. I've had one fill and I got my band March 18th.

Thanks so much to everyone, gosh, everyone here is so supportive, its awesome.

Yes I totally eat less. My Golden Corral days are OVER! I'm very glad I got the band eventhough the weight is coming off slow. Good luck!
