Hey Frank...I had the surgery in January and have lost almost 50 pounds. My fills cost me 150.00 a month which is killing me right now. They are telling me I have to pay the balance on my acct .before I can come in for another one so its going to be a while before I go back. I dont regret my surgery at all. Its a big life adjustment but its been worth it for me so far. I still have about 75 more to go. The surgery was about 20 or 25 minutes so it was really quick, and the recovery for me was soooo easy. I was feeling great about day 3. Alot of people were telling me as well, that I could do it on my own but I knew that I clearly could not. I finally decided to do it for the health issues that I was beginning to have. Only 50 pounds down or so but I feel 100% better allready. I dont know the answer to the questions that you asked, but wanted to say welcome to the forum and tell you to hang in there. YOU will know if this surgery is the right thing for you. BTW... I love foof too, and Im still able to eat most things. I just have to eat very slow and tiny tiny bites. NO bread though. I miss it. LOL Candi

I can so relate to your feelings. I had lap band on 1-17-11. I started at 263 and Im now 219. Seems like its taking forever to lose the weight but Im trying to be patient. I have a great partner who is so supportive. That really makes all the difference in the world!
