would you?

I am not quite 10 weeks post-op, and am down almost 54 lbs. all post-op weight. So far, so good! I would absolutely do it all over again...in a heartbeat! :thumbup:

Definitely would do it again.

Absolutely! Without a doubt the best thing I have ever done for me.

Just wish I had done it sooner.........

Without a doubt, without hesitation.. this is the best thing I could have done for my life and my health.... I don't regret having done this for one second!!

I would do it over again no matter what it took!

Yes, yes, yes, a million times, yes! Best decision I ever made!

Being banded was the best thing I have ever done for myself. I would do it again in a minute.

Damn Straight I would do it over again! I could have never lost 65 pounds on my own - through sheer "will power". I admit the band is really more of a reminder than this magic tool that stops me from eating too much or the wrong foods. The "magic" part is, this tool has helped me to change my eating habits. Now I think before anything goes in my mouth. Yes.. because I have to be careful about portion size and foods that won't go through the band... but more because I am so used to eating healthier, it has really become part of my lifestyle now. Sometimes I think about what the future holds in terms of having the band in 5 years from now, but truly for now and the foreseeable future, the lapband has been a life-saver for me.

100 percent yes i would do it over again!! The band has given me back the quality of life that i was missing out on at 359 lbs. I can do anything i so desire now where as before doing just the smallest of things was a major effort. I love my band.

I have struggled a lot since being banded… but above it all I have learned so much. I would definitely do it all over again if I had to.

I don’t mind the road I’ve gone down. It will only strengthen me and make me a better person, and will ensure lifetime success.

J Good question.

DEFINATELY!!! I've lost 81 pounds in less than 6 months, am off all medications-cholesteral, high blood pressure, diabetes, heart & P.C.O.S meds! No more joint pain! Feel incredible! Sleep Apnea is improving and my family can put their arms all the way around me when they give me hugs! It was the best thing I've ever done for myself and my health! Wish I had done it a lot sooner!

I would do it over in a heart beat. I wish I had done it sooner.

Hell, No.

I would be heading right for Gastric Bypass. It was what I needed.

HH

YES!!!....in the blink of an eye

I know I (w/o a band) can lose weight but I will never keep if off w/o something more then willpower alone!!

Yes I would do it over again! Even though I haven't lost any weight in the last 5 months due to esphageal dysmotility. My doctor will not give me a fill because when he does I suffer from nighttime reflux. I am down 70 pounds and being 30 pounds overweight is lots easier than being 100 pounds overweight. I just pray that someway I can get through the holidays without gaining any and maybe in January I can get a slight fill and lose some of the 30 pounds!! I refuse to say I am through. I still love my band!
