Any Regrets? I'm sooooo confused....

[chasingadream 1,311]

Never a regret --but like many say I wish I didnt wait so long....but each day is new and wonderful and its nice to not be controlled by food anymore.

It is work and well worth it....feeling good about myself both physically and mentally.

Wishing you much success ...keep us posted!

I got the band in Nov. and I am glad I did. One thing others haven't mentioned is you have to go back for adjustments. OK maybe some do. You have to go back to have fills to make your band tighter, sometimes it might take 3 or 4 trips in to have fills. I am on my second one and still need more. I get them about every 3 to 4 weeks.

Keep reading this forum and you will learn all that. Educate yourself and then go for it. Good Luck girl

Oh by the way, I am 72 and wish I had had this done years ago.

I am also in Canada. I was just banded this past Thursday. My surgery cost 16,000, but I get loads of follow up care included. I have thought about and read about the lap band for at least 7 or 8 years now. In that time, I gained 60 pounds. It's your decision. You can lose how ever much you want once you have it.

Thank you all for taking the time to reply.

I have been doing a lot of reading and research over the weekend and tho not 100% I'm defiantly leaning towards having it done.

Yesterday I was walking through the mall and they had this cute little dress displayed in a store....my first thought was that I'd never be able to wear that and boy wouldn't it be nice to just slip into that...

These are the thoughts of a woman who doesn't want anything drastic, just to fit in and be comfortable in her own body...maybe I've found the answer.

Thanks again all.
