Considering Lapband..should I? or shouldn't I?

[IndioGirl55 32]

Your post really hit home I was banded 3/08 and had similar considerations 9 months later I still have same thoughts however my Internist said I have never been healthier my BP is stabilized blood sugar normal lipids best ever

Still hungry at times, need to get this fill thing corrected,, a key to this procedure ,lost 20 of my 35 lb goal I know I will not pigout today, I cannot, that is the key benefit to will I live longer?, probably, who knows??? I would do it again however your life will change a trade off this eating malady is always a tradeoff. You will still be able to go out and enjoy food small bites and chew chew chew. good Luck

I have never found that my band kept me from being hungry - it keeps me physically full longer on a smaller amount of food. The only thing that keeps my hunger at bay is doing something - as long as I am out and about - I don't think about food - home bored watching tv etc - then I want to eat..

I still eat - but within by calorie budget - I exercise - I am living a normal life

Healthy Eating + Exercise + Band = Success ...
