I have lab band done the 14th of jan. do any of you regreat having it done. I hope that everyone is doing fine on their weight lose. Let me know how things are going.

Glad you are doing good. I love my band and do not have any regrets.

NO REGRETS!!! Its not easy in the beginning, but it gets easier as time goes on. I would do it all over again and I also was self pay.

Preop weight: 239

Current: 220

Goal: 140

I was banded in April, 2008 and have lost 110 lbs (I have 70 left to go). I do not regret it at all. I exercise (couldn't before due to weight), work better, sleep better, eat healthier, and am generally happier. Congratulations on the surgery

Is there any food that you can't eat or crave.

Is there any food that you can't eat or crave.

I don't think there are foods that I can't eat- per say. There are foods that I choose not to eat because the effort of eating is simply not worth it. Take steak for example- I won't eat steak. It would take forever to chew enough to get into my stomach. I don't crave it though. Also, sometimes I avoid breads because they fill me up so fast that I won't get to eat what I really want to eat.

Oh and I don't eat hard candy or chew gum- just cuz I'm scared what would happen should I accidentally swollow.

did all of you do lap band or the gastric sleeve
