A_new_sara 136 Posted May 14, 2017 I know this is a strong opinion, but I'm greatly tired of brand new lapband patients trying to educate me on my lapband that I've struggled with for 7+ years. I don't need ANOTHER adjustment. I don't OVEREAT. I don't BREAK the rules. I don't eat foods that I'm not supposed to eat. Believe me, I wouldn't just give up on a tool that I paid $13.3k for CASH when I barely had the ability to get a loan to do so. So please, be considerate and understand that I too thought the lapband was the best thing on the planet in the beginning. It took several years to get me to the decision to remove it. Ok rant over.

Navigating the Wilderness 824 Posted May 14, 2017 The band never worked for me. It was not 100% the band's fault, it just was not a good match for me. I'm sorry you have been feeling this way especially when you self-paid. Hopefully you can find a way to still make it work, but I totally understand the anger. 1 A_new_sara reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
