I had my lap band in 2008 i have lost close to 70 pounds from 236 to 160 presently. I will go months and go back and forth on the same 5 pounds, then over the past 2 years began dropping more with added exercise. Very happy with the loss. Will be having a tummy tuck in January, should I have the lap band removed? Side effects so far are occassional vomiting if I just eat too fast or have a very tough piece of meat. Also salads except finely chopped are out. Happy with the results and the progress.
Appointment this Friday with Dr. whom ddi my surgery to discuss this. Dr, Nyguen, UCI Medical Center, Orange , Calif.
