I have booked everything. My date is April 27 in TJ with

Dr. Kuri. Anbody have him as a doctor let me know. I have so many emotions right now. I have not been able to lose the weight by myself and keep it off. All that I read from the Lap talk the lap band is the same. I have a bm of 34.

And I really want to have a healthy BM. I have been down once before in my life and it felt great!:thumbup:

Does the Lap band work? It sounds just like a diet. Only with a regular diet your hungry with a lap band your puking and spiting.:thumbdown:

I have had the lap band since Oct 27, only puked 2, and both times were due to my own insane eating. I am healthier than I have been in 10 years, lost 63 lbs, and at this moment in time would repay the full 16800 I paid for the surg in the begnning. Its not the same as a diet, as dieting was something I did for years and lost and regained the lbs lost, this is a lifestyle change that partly forces you to work at it, but its not always easy and its not for someone who really is not 100% open to change. Its a tool, as you will hear a million times, not a miracle. I am glad I did it, for myself, my family and friends. This is coming from a Canadian who has spent the money and is not rich. But happily skinnier and skinnier every day. best of wishes to you.
