I was reading up on the lapband last night and read that the average person only looses 45 to 55 % of their access weight with the lapband. I wonder if that's true...So in other words If i need to loose 100 pounds, statistically speaking, I will prob. only loose 50 pounds. That is discouraging to me...very! I hate to pay 14,900.00 out of my pocket plus go through surgery unless I would loose 80% to 100 % of what I need to loose.

I love unjury vanilla. I usually hate Protein Shakes...but this is smooth and the flavor is good....Others have said they like the Unjury strawberry. Look up unjury on line...You have to order it. -

I am having a mental battle. I am 49, weigh 235 (have for 2 years) am 5' 6 1/2 " tall. I want to loose weight and feel like doing things again. I have contemplated lapband for 2 years. I am scared I will have it and regret it. I don't like feeling nauseous or to have stomach pain. I am worried I will regret getting it after I have the band. I try reg. dieting, always quitting and gainning back. I want to know what to expect right after surgery (pain wise and all). I am a worrier as well... I am wondering if I will always be thinking about a foreingn object in my body and if it is eatting through the stomach lining. Is thinking that way normal? I have acid reflux...will that get better or worse with the lapband? Any suggestions, or any advise, I would appreciate..

Hi, I haven't been banded yet but have just heard you can't take advil once you have the band. Does anyone know why? I take advil for very bad menstrual cramps and it is the only thing that helps me. Tylenol doesn't touch it and I don't wanna resort to narcotics for them. I can't imagine having to suffer through cramps because they are so bad for me. The thought of that makes me think i shouldn't get the band. And i really want the band. Thanks

nausea and dizziness

Hi, i was wandering how you are today. Did you call the doctor? If so what did he say? I hope you are feeling better. -
MartinBJL,
I'm sorry I didn't get back to you earlier. I didn't know you had left me a message. No, I would be a horrible trainer! LoL I just like myself a lot, so I can force myself to go. LoL Someone else, I wouldn't care so much as long as I got paid. Is that evil? AHAH Oh well!
I used to be pretty active before my sugery, but I'm a lot more active now I've lost a lot of my weight.
The reason I got the band was because I was so out of control. I coudln't stop eating. Getting the band was one of the best choices I"ve made in my life. I was extremely worried about getting banded, but I wouldn't change it for anything in the world. I can eat now and not continually gain weight. It's simply amazing!
If you get it, you'll have to tell me how your journey goes!

Hey, I like what you had to say. You sound like you would be a good physical trainer. B-4 you had this surgery were you tired alot adn did you exercise. I am thinkig about having the lap band. I like you have 80 pounds to loose . I am very tired a lot. I just found out though that i have sleep apnea so that might have something to do with it. At this point i don't feel like exercising at all.
Thnx, hope you write me back
