Hi All,

I will be having my surgery sometime in the end of February I hope. Just one more meeting with the surgeon. I am a little aprehensive.. but excited too. This has been a huge decision for me, since I have 2 children to think about. I am a little nervous about the after part and if I will be successful at this. I have not had very good success with any other weight loss plan in the past.

Please someone give me their input. Thanks so much.

I am a little nervous about the after part and if I will be successful at this. I have not had very good success with any other weight loss plan in the past.

All I can say is that I've never encountered someone who had no doubts, no anxiety, and was sure of what they'd lose and how quickly they'd lose it. I researched this for 5 years, and was second guessing myself up until I was under anesthesia.

And also, this is not a weightloss plan. You can't compare a weightloss plan to the band. Apples & oranges.

Yvonne, congrats on this life changing lapband. I have been banded since June and definitely do not regret it. The recovery time is easy I think. The only difficulty was the soreness of the port site. Good luck.

Hi Yvonne,

Good luck with your lap band choice.

Everyone worries just before the time comes - it's natural. I was really taken aback by the recovery time - was fine 2 days later - just bending hurt a little - a week later I was right as rain.

Let us know how you get on.

Take care,

Yvonne
