Going for it



Recommended Posts

Im looking for any first hand info I can get about the lap band. I am waiting to see if my insurance will approve. I am afraid that I will be sick all of the time. Is this true? I read a few things that made me gag just reading them. I would like to know the good and bad....I am an over eater and eat fast....I know both of these things will have to stop. I like sugar and also eat too much of the right things.....IM wondering if this is the right thing for me?????

Nancy,

Your post has too much to answer.

Make some posts with specific questions.

Just a general comment from me.

With the band you get full but you want to eat more. It takes a while to get your brain wrapped around this concept.

I am very happy and my issue with food is getting better each day.

You must feel so good....Congratulations on your success. I hope the insurance company answer comes this week. I was glad to hear that your issue with food is getting better because I know it dosn't matter what you do, if you don't change your eating habits, you can forget about it working. IM not looking for a magic wand,(unless you have one and want to let me borrow it...lol) but I want the band to make me not overeat and not eat certain things. I think we all know how to lose weight. I my case, I need something to force me to do it.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
