I had the lap band surgery in April without any major complications. Frustrations about lack of weight loss has lead me to your site! I look forward to learning more from everyone and hopefully soon being one of the happier patients who have posted! I posted a thread in the fill sections about the issues/frustrations I am facing!

Otherwise Lap band has been great and I give it praise for forcing me to slow down while I eat and actually enjoy my food. I have found that instead of being the first one finished I am now the last one. This has also forced my family to remain at the table longer so we can enjoy discussing the happenings of the day and world.

The only thing I really miss is not having a soda pop of any sort. That has been the hardest thing for my brain to let go. Although I have been soda pop free since my surgery.

      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.
