I got my band done 1 week ago, no regrets although at the moment it is tough , but the weight coming off is so worth it, and the energy! Having it done isnt making you weak, its a big decision and you are strong for doing what your doing, its a motivational kick start, usually other diets get tiering as u always get weight off but then you double, your taking a great step in the right direction. Goodluck with your surgery!!!

I did struggle with whether or not to tell people, then I decided since the general public thinks this is the "easy way out" that I would keep it to myself! Anyone who thinks you are weak because you had this surgery needs to walk a mile in your shoes! The lapband truly is just a tool that helps you make healthy decisions and choose a healthier life. If you are like me, you have struggled with your body for years and finally found a solution that works. So don't worry about what anyone else thinks (easy to say...), you are doing this for yourself! The best of luck to you! Please keep us posted!!!!

Thanks so much. Your support means alot to me.
