I had lap band done in May 2007. I have lost 95 pounds since then. I am on my 5th fill and I feel that this is the good one. There are a lot of things that I cannot eat but I have also changed my thinking about food. Please do not think that this is a miracle cure because it is not. I walk almost three miles a day and watch everything that goes in my mouth. I did a lot of research about the surgery and talked to several people that had it done before I decided to go through with it. There is a man at my work that had it done over a year ago and has lost nothing. My feeling on that is that he is not trying hard enough and still eating junk. You have to be totally comitted to this for it to work properly.I now eat about 2 ounces of food and I am full. Also remember not to drink when you eat or right before or right after because that will flush the food down faster. It took about 5 months for me to stop drinking while I eat and I was fuller faster when I stopped. Good luck to you and please stick with it.
Thanks
