I have heard many success stories and some complications due to the being banded. My question is do any of you regret your decision and if so why? Thanks for sharing.

Yes. I'm post op 7 months. I've had 3 fix surgeries on the original site then a port move. No significant weight loss. As far as I'm concerned this was a useless surgery. If you eat and workout the way it's recommended after surgery you would loose weight even w/o the band. I'm on here as one last attempt to salvage something, but I feel like I was ripped off.

Just make sure you are willing to change everything about your habits and really commit to these changes...You can do the same with w/o the band.

I have days when I regret getting the band. Those are the days when I can't keep food down., but overall I'm content with the band.

I agree with stevegoad. I don't regret getting it done, but there are some things I don't like... The tummy rumblings, the gas, uncontrollable burping (embarrassing!), not being able to eat more of a meal I am really enjoying...

But although there are some down points, I definitely put up with it because it is working for me.
