SharonH 0 Posted February 29, 2008 I am just beginning the process for the lapband. I have gone to the seminar and recently had an appointment with the nurse, dietitian and the physicial therapist. I have an appointment in April with Dr. Posner to discuss and schedulethe surgery. This question goes out to anyone that has already had the surgery.....Do you regret having the surgery?

shortgal 5 Posted February 29, 2008 Nope, starting to love my band! I was frustrated waiting for the right fill level but this whole experience has been great. Very little pain, nice weight loss, feel better, down at least two sizes. I rarely get food stuck or slime or PB ( so far) so I'm very happy and BTW I was self pay and think it was worth it.

smwww 0 Posted February 29, 2008 Not at all. I had lapband surgery 2months ago and have lost 22lbs. Something that was a struggle for me the last several years!!!! It is helping to do something that was hard for me to do. Control my eating habits. I admit sometimes I things that get stuck in my throat, but I realize that I am eating TOO fast and sometimes not the best recommended things. So it plays as my alarm somewhat. I thing you would do great!!! :confused: Banded 12/17/07 244surgery/222current/165goal Birmingham, AL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jvance74 0 Posted February 29, 2008 I do not regret my band either, I have been banded almost 2 months. You do get frustrated as you are having to re-train yourself to eat smaller bites and chew alot. I have lost 38lbs so far and I am down 4 pant sizes! It is so worth it! Good Luck! :confused: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
