Lap-Bander's is it working for you?

I am having a Lap-Band placed in the future and am wondering how it works for you guys? Are there any success stories people would be willing to share? I have decided against the RNY for personal reasons and am really praying the Lap-Band is successful. Thanks for any information you can give me.

There is a lap band message board as well and would be a great place for you to hear about bands. Donna

Barb, I'm a successful Bander. I had my band placed in Aug 31, 2005. I've had three fills totalling 2.3 cc's. I've lost 170+ lbs. I'm still loosing (only extremly slower) because I'm currently pregnant. Though I'll have to go in to see my surgeon to get a small unfill to gain weight for the baby, I am very happy with the success I've had with my band. But as the previous poster said it's a good idea to check out OH's lapband forum/message board. There are a lot of successful banders there - as well as people's struggles with learning to adjust their lives to banding and wls in general. GOOD LUCK! Jodi

I have lost about 130 so far so it is working well for me! I have about another 50-75 to lose and it is going a lot slower than it used to. Feel free to look at my profile I have done a good job keeping it updated...

I have almost 8 months out and I hit 65lbs this morning. I have had 3 fills. I am very pleased and very motivated to lose the last 40-50 lbs. Good luck to you
