I had the lapband march 2004 and it really didn't work for me. I definetly cheated the band. I weighed 260 when I had the surgery and now weigh 228. I got pregnant in 2006 so that ofcourse made me gain weight but I was also diagnoised with cervical cancer while I was pregnant so that also was a problem. I did get down to 220 before I got pregnant so the surgery wasn't a total waste. In Feb 2009 I decided to have a tummy tuck because I was ok with being big and just wanted the flab gone. I have 3 kids so I can blame some of it on them...ha ha...Anyway, I am still going to the oncologist every 3 months for check-ups for reoccurence and might have to have radiation so i guess my mind has been elsewhere. I am glad I had the tummy tuck though.. I have read tons of success stories on this website so I know the band works most of the time. I will update my story soon. CLARE
