Hey Lisa! I love having my lap band and wouldn't go back! It sure is a lot to get used to and a HUGE learning experience. I had debated getting the surgery for almost 3 yrs before I actually got it. The band isn't a cure like most people think, because you can still get a whole lot of food down there if you're determined enough. It makes me think about everything I put in my mouth and if I should be eating this or making other choices. I've been somewhat successful after surgery, but I cheated a lot a couple months back. I could probably have lost a lot more, but we all gotta learn from our mistakes. One big piece of advice from a post-op, make sure you don't become overly ambitious with your fills and chew, chew, chew! I have found out the hard way quite a few times.
