Love my lapband



Recommended Posts

Just wanted to share that I am now 2 1/2 months out from having my lapband surgery, and 3+ weeks out from my second fill. I am doing great and have lost 37 lb since surgery. However, I note that I really can't drink fluids while eating, since that washes things through the opening. I also can hold much more food in the evening than I can earlier in the day. Apparently that's typical. I would highly recommend this procedure.

Hey Steve - I love music too!! I haven't noticed when my band is tighter, I'll have to pay more attention. I love my band too. Just got my second fill last Friday, January 4. Went back to the doctor yesterday and he wants to see me in six weeks. When were you banded? I had my procedure on November 1, 2007.

Hi Steve. Congrats on your weight loss. I have had a hard time not drinking when I eat. It is a hard habit to break but I keep working on it. Donna

Steve - I LOVE my band too! I think about it every day - many times a day - How it has changed my life and how thankful I am. Congratulations on the success.

      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.
