Hi lab69, I am making that step with you,I cant wait to have my surgery,I have read lots of Blogs and went to youtube and listened to lots of video blogs ,I went to lapband.com,i went to realizeband.com there is so many websites to get educated on what to expect,but with a band breaking it has a lot to do with erosion of the band,and that comes from not following what the doctor tells you to do and staying on your diet program,too much vomiting,lots of things cause the band to break that we need to avoid.....any way you are not alone,...there are plenty of other people who havnt had there surgery done yet.....all you have to do is ask who hasn't had there suegery done you and you will be overwelmed with the responce....Im here and If you want we can do it together......I have my 1st appointment on Jan 10th, Have you attended your siminar yet?....if so you are on your way...oh yeah there are 2 other surgerys that you can choose from if that mans story scared you bt please dont be afraid of 1 persons experiance.......camille01....

There are all kinds of experiences. I recommend listening to those who have good results and listen to the things they tell you. When something goes wrong it is usually because someone is not following the recommendations. I know more success stories more than anything else. My doctor's office gave me a book called "The Lapband Solution" by Pat P'Brien. I used it along with this site, personal testimonies from other clients, and youtube. I don't regret my decision and am proud of my results. I was banded in Feb of this year and have lost 70lbs. There are others that have done better than me and vice versa.

Do your research when selecting your doctor. Don't let one bad story ruin a chance to a newer, smaller you. Good luck in your decision.

Congrats! 70 lbs is alot. I will see if I can get a copy of that book! I Alot of times I trying to dismiss negative comments and try to find out on my on. I need to know the good and the bad. So I could know what not to do. And that's why I like this website because people share good story as well as the bad one too. Thanks for your help and I will write down every question I have and I will bring them to the seminar!
