Thank you so much for your reply. I went to a couple free seminars and the attendies were Gastric patients only, so I have not been able to speak with anyone who has had the lap band. I originally was all for the Gastric becuase I loved the idea all my medication will be gone and my liver results will improve. I am now to small for Gastric but my doctor said she is going with my original weigh in. I recently spoke with my sister in law and she is all for the Band. After speaking with my sister in law I was going towards the Band, becuase my meds will go away eventually, the weight will come off and I wont be so limited on my food plan, i would have be portioned what I was eating. I realize Vitamins will always be a must becuase of the amount of food I will be consuming, I will not get the fool amount of nuritment needed.
Please tell me when you first got your Band did you see a change in portion needed to satisfy yourself? and do you see you are needing to make frequent trips to the doctor for ceiling refills and check ups? are you comfortable with your lap band, can you feel it? I may have more questions for you and I hope you dont mind. i really appreciate you take the time to give me some feed back. Personally I think i need to go to a couple more seminars, becuase I am really close to having my appointment with my surguon, 5lbs close.
Thank you
