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 changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
