girleegirl 0 Posted August 15, 2013 Hi, I've had my band for a little over two years. Reached my goal and went from a size 18 to an 8. Could not be happier. Feel free to ask me any questions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chai_2.0 3 Posted August 15, 2013 thank you for the reply. Was it very difficult for you in the beginning? Aside from the physical discomfort from the procedure, did you start to question if you made the right decision? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
girleegirl 0 Posted August 15, 2013 It definitely took time adjusting to this lifestyle. My biggest problem was slowing down when I ate but now its fine. I do believe that I have made the right choice for me and would do it again in a heartbeat. This choice has given me my life back. Lapband, like anything else, is a tool. We can't expect the weight to fall off. If you follow the program and have realistic goals and expectations you will be fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
