Do I regret it?

NOT. FOR. A. SINGLE. MINUTE.

By far, my best decision ever.

No, I do not regret it. Its one of the best things I have ever done for myself. I used to wear size 22-24 and now I'm wearing size 14. I just went on a trip to see my family. I didn't have to huff and puff through the airport and search for places to sit to rest in between walking and I didn't need to ask for a lap extender to close my seat belt. My mobility has increased, I look better and my body feels MUCH BETTER. I only wish I would have done this years ago (although I didn't know about this years ago).

I have no regrets what so ever!!! Best decision I every made wish I would have done it 2 years ago!! Thats how long I thought about it!! This is not a fix all you must work hard but when the weight starts coming off and you start feeling like yourself again it all becomes easy!! good luck to you both on this journey!!

Yesterday was my 5 month band-a-versary. I would do it again in a minute. Wish I would have done it years ago. I'm still learning. I still find myself filling my plate, thinking I'm going to eat just like before...NOT. I've wasted a lot of food because now my eyes are really bigger than my tummy. Good luck to you and your wife!

Its one of the best decisions in life that I have made.

I went half way round the world all by myself to India, I only told a couple of people and no one was supportive.

I had issues with my weight all my life, I wanted to be free. I used to eat and eat and eat and now I can't cause i'm banded. I find it fantastic being banded as I can only eat a small amount of food. Eating is no longer a hobby but going to the gym, zumba classes and walking are. I enjoy food now. I find a great sense of freedom having my band.

PS Its not till you have the right amount of fill that your band really kicks in. I have 9ml in a 9ml band. Was banded 3rd Sept 2008 hit my sweet spot Early Jan this year.

I'm in the "wish I did it sooner" canoe, and once I got over my negative opinion about surgery (why can't I just do it on my own) I was gung ho and still going. Banded Jan 20 and down almost 40 pounds (got fill #3 today).

Only been banded 4 weeks but I don't regret it. I understand the doubts but 2% of people can do this by themselves and keep it off. If you are sure you're not that 2% then go for it, it will add 20 yrs to your life!
