Let's hear some positive experiences out there. There have to be some out there somewhere!!!!!!:thumbdown:

I love my band. It's been a great experience all the way through. You need to realize that often people post here when they have problems (you can only say "I'm happy so many ways and then it gets repetitive, you know!) and it's good there is a place to get advice etc. But realize a HUGE portion of "bandsters" don't post because they are out busily living healthier lives.

I love my band!!! Not everyone is gonna have problems. This was the best decision I have ever made in my life.

I love my band too!! I've said all this before, but since you asked...... I had my surgery done in Sept. 08. I've lost 70 pounds, I'm off of the blood pressure meds that I took for years, I'm wearing clothes that I haven't fit into for a long time, I've lost 28.75 inches, I'm sleeping better, I have a lot more energy, and I am so much happier. Life is good and I am blessed! Take care! Becky

I love my band too, ONLY problem for me is : costing hubby alot of money buying new clothes for me hahaha

I've lost 65 lbs and am only 5 lbs away from a normal BMI. It's taken me 2 1/2 years and i'm feeling great.

Getting banded is definitely a difficult process. However it has also saved my life and for that I do not regret one second of it. I love my band and will continue being an advocate for the lapband system.
