Hello from a Newbie!!!



Recommended Posts

Hi all,

Just found this site while scoping out the internet for info on lap-bands. A friend of mine had hers done back in May and is doing great.

I had always sworn that I would NEVER EVER EVER go under the knife, especially for a weight loss surgery. But I'm at the end of my rope and don't know what else to do.

I have tried Weight Watchers a BAZILLION times and have gained weight while on it several times :D I've tried "dieting" on my own to no avail, I've been on pills from my DR. but nothing has worked.

I've been trying to soak up as much info as I can on lap-banding (preferably from people who have had it done). I'd love to hear all about the positives and negatives that come with this procedure. And I guess the best way to get that info is to read this forum.

I can't wait to get started!!!

Thanks, Pam

      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.
