I have a lapband. I have had it since 2008. I have only had about four fills. One was very tight because I ask the doctor to make it tight. I guess it is my fault I have only lost a little weight. I wanted this to work.. It seems like my body is resistant to losing weight and it makes me depressed. I know most of you are very successful and I am so happy for you. I was small all my life. I did the adkins diet. The genes in my family makes for large people. I hate it.
