I am 39 and have been heavy most of my life. I have gone on diets and lost some weight, but only to gain it back and then some. I never thought I would have bariatric surgery, until my weight kept gaining and my doc talked to me about the lap-band.
Hi shiba. . I am banded (7/15/10) . . have not had a fill yet and don't feel the need yet. Doing very well and glad you are too. What difference do you notice since you've had your first fill? I was banded in Saginaw, Dr. Ringley - how about you?
