Hi, I too work with law efforcement and I can certainly relate to having a hectic life, missing meals, and eatting junk on the go. So I decided to give it a go myself, I had my surgery only 6 days ago but I feel so proud of myself for begining a new healthly life. I've had no complications thus far only adjustments to eatting smaller portions, much much smaller portions. :-) I say go for it and join us LapBanders!
