I got my lapband in 2006 weighing just over 400 lbs. I had sleep apnea and was very unhappy with myself and it was rubbing off on everyone else. Doctor live in texas and me in kansas so I didn't get filled often due to drive so never really got filled properly but still lost weight. I haven't had a fill in about 4 yrs or so due to a lost doctor. He can't be found and I think he retired. No post op report without him so no one would fill my band due to liability issues. I had been yoyoing on different diets and some worked and some didn't but I got discouraged and gained some weight back due to laziness and eating bad foods. I blame me no the
doctor for that. Wanting to change something I saw a
lapband booth at our state fair and met these nice
people and told them my story. Needless to say next
thursday 10/6/11 I am finally going to get another
band fill. This is very motivating to me as the Ymca is not working by itself. Got another 80 lbs to go.
I joined this forum to do it right this time. Support is very powerful. I wish everyone with the lapband much success and together we will meet out goals!
