It's a lie

The Lapband works, if anyone tells you different they don't have a clue what they are talking about. I post this since some people get discouraged and hear people saying it's just a gimmick or it's too hard once you get banded. October the 16th will be 7 months for me and I am doing great, I took a vacation from the band while I was on vacation (extended which really lasted almost two months). That means I ate whatI wanted too, not always what I should. While I did not lose weight during that period, I did not gain. Thus the band works, it controled my eating even it it was not my intent. Well I am back from vacation and had a fill the day after I returned. I am back to losing. I did walk in the Little Rock "Walk for Obesity" and now I am back to working my ban. I know I will be in "onederland" soon. Get the band, it works.

Great post Greg, and well said! The band really does work, I have not been following the rules either but have not gained, mainly because I can't eat as much! I have not been making good food choices either but my lack of volume has kept me from gaining. So I agree whole hearted with you, the band does work!!! You just have to be able to help by working with it!

So true Greg, well done. I always enjoy your blog. Thanks for keeping it real. The band works, I was banded 7/2 and I am down 33 #s in 3 months. IT WORKS!

Good point but be careful! My "extended vacation", 15 months of emotional eating, poor choices and drinking while I ate again got me no where but a 30 pound weight gain. The band doesn't fix it all unfortunately. I hate to put a negative spin on things but I don't want others to make the same mistake as myself.
