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.

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.

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.

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.

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:

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
