Hello there, I had lap band done on 9/11/07 I have lost 47 pounds and 43 inches. It has taken me longer than the average person. I am 40 pounds from my goal. I do not have a bunch of loose skin and I believe it's because I am taking it slow. I never should have tried sugar again! that is one of the things that is making things move slower. I was a huge starbucks user and don't miss it at all! the only thing is the darn sugar! Remember this is only a tool and you have to work hard still. I knew it would not be easy but sometimes wish I would have had the full bypass so that I had worse effects if I eat badly. I have had some dumping and it can be dangerous. Be careful! I would do it again in a hearbeat! Make sure you are ready and do it for you! If you are not ready it won't work! I feel so much better and now want to weight less than my husband. I am almost there and it feels amazing! Good luck making your choice! I hope everything works out for you no matter what you decide!
