Hi Everyone~

Knowing and experiencing everything that you have with the band...would you still have had the procedure done?

Absolutely, no doubt...in 9 short months it has improved my life in so many ways.

Oh my gosh, I could shout it from the rooftops - YES, I would do it again in a heartbeat!! I know some people have problems, and I'm very sorry for that, but I've been very fortunate, and this band has been a miracle tool for me. I was at our lap band support group meeting the other night, and a pre-bander asked the group if anyone had regrets. There were brand new banders to people who long ago reached their goal and had been banded for years. Not a single person regretted getting the band, and I would say everyone felt quite the opposite. I just can't imagine lugging around the 50 lbs I've already lost ever again.

OMG . .. YES YES YES YES YES!!!!!! I wish I had done this 20 years ago . .. my life is so much better now . . . I can move around, sit in a movie theater seat or airplane seat . . . stand for 6 hours if I have to . . . I'm off my bp meds and colesterol meds . .. so if you ask me - YESSSSSS!

It has only been a week since the surgery but at this time I am sure I would do it again. If it works like I know it will I will surely be convenced to do it again.

Yes Yes Yes. My surgery was Nov 6/08. Down 38 lbs and so much more energy. I feel like I have a new chance at life. I have struggled with my weight for my whole life.

I would absolutely do it again! Only regret as im sure everyone's is...is that I didn't do it sooner. I feel so much better than I ever have in my life.

Without a doubt! While I am not feeling most of the benefits yet (even after 50Lbs) I do get lots of remarks about how good I look, and clothes are definitely loose. The pain was minor compared to the pleasure it will bring in the future.

OMG YES i would do it again, just wished i had done it in my 20's instead of my 30's, but still very pleased i did it, i love buying new clothes & standng in front of my bedroom mirror trying the old clothes on watching them fall to the ground with a huge smile on my face :thumbup:

Yes I would do it again, even with the complications.

YES YES YES!!! Wish I had it done sooner. All those wasted years feeling horrible! I no longer live my life thinking about food. I couldn't be happier!

I had surgery on Feb 5th and I would definately do it again. This is a great, wonderful, fantastic tool! I have lost 33 lbs and feel better than I have since high school, 11 years ago. I have more energy and can play with my kids more and also seem to have an easier time focusing.

:thumbup:

Oh for sure i would do it all again, what a difference in the quality of life i live now. No comparing it to before what so ever.

I'm down 80lbs and with out a shadow of a doubt, YES!! Of course I'm still trading food addictions with other addictions, but that's my personality. haha It's so much more fun dealing with partying/dating too much instead of sitting at home all alone stuffing my face with food. *shrug*

Without a doubt! My only regret is trying to climb the stairs to my fourth floor office that fateful morning with heels on, injuring my knee which slowed down my exercise tremendously.:crying: Watch out for those heels!:scared2:

Yes! I've lost 27 pounds in exactly a month from when I started the pre-op diet until now, three weeks after surgery. I feel great. And I just can't imagine not having done this.
