I'm curious to know how those here feel about their lapband surgery and whether they have any regrets about it. Most likely those here are going to be more positive than not but here's a poll:

I did do it again and I would do it again in a heart beat.

I am 1 in thousands that had a leak in my band. Not sure why looks like it was an oops on my Dr.s part, but it happened. And if it happend again I would do it agian.

Again...as stated in a heartbeat. I went through about a yr. before being banded so got lots of time to research. It's been a wonderful decision up to this point. I've had absolutely no problems.

For the first time in my life, I feel hope.

sometimes i think that i would do it again...other times i feel very disappointed. i am not gaining though, so i don't think it was a mistake. however, i had hope to lose a little more than 13 lbs since surgery day.((i lost 4 lbs preop))

Absolutely the only thing I would change about doing it again, is that I would have done it years ago! It has been life saving, I have no doubt.

I got my band three years ago. It is a tricky little device,but I'm down 75 pounds and I'm thrilled. I would do it again despite the PBing, wondering if I need a fill or an unfill, etc. It's been worth everything I've invested in it for sure.

I would do it again in a heartbeat - and I've even been advocating a few friends who have been discussing gastric bypass...telling them the benefits of getting the band instead. I can tell already that this will be life changing for me and I can't wait for it to REALLY get going!!

In a NY minute and sooner if I could. It was one of the best things I ever did for not only myself but my family. I now stand a much better chance of living longer than if I continue on the way I was.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
