its been 3 1/2 months since surgery and i have lost 56lbs and im now 199! finally into the 100s. I hope to never see the 200s again! it feels amazing! with the lapband it took me a year to loose that much. feels so good to reach my first goal in such a short time! this is the best thing i ever did :)

Wow that is amazing! I had been looking into the lapband but my surgeon recommends gastric bypass. I am having a hard time wrapping my head around that...for some reason the lap band didnt scare me like the thought of gastric bypass. Glad you are having such good results.

Having a foreign object in me scares me. But it's whatever makes you comfortable. Also make sure your ins pays for band adjustment which is done many times. I've heard most don't.

If the ins covers the surgery they will cover the fills. But like i said ive had the band. Its not worth it. It was a much quicker n easier recovery. (back to work in less than a week) BUT u dont loose as much weight and its much easier to gain it back. My doc doesnt even do them anymore cuz so many ppl have had it revised to gastric.
