Hello , I am new to this so please be patient. I had my Lapband placed on Dec. 20th 2010 and it does appear that you have to have a series of adjustments . I have had 2 and I have'nt lost much weight at all since the surgery only about 8 lbs. I will have my 3rd adj. on April 18th and i really hope and pray that this will be the one that reallyworks for me. So for those of you out there that may be going through tha same thing I would love to hear back from you.
