Questions

Hello,

I would like to talk to anyone who has had the Lap Band Surgery - good or bad.  If you live in Canada I would really love to hear from you, I live in WInnipeg, Manitoba.

I am 42 years old and I weigh 290 lbs and I am 5 ft 1 inch tall.

I am considering having Lap Band procedure and I would like to talk with people who have gone through it.

Thank you in advance for your replies.

 Hi, Connie! Welcome to the Board!

I had the band in December of 2003. The pic below should give you some idea of how I've done. If you've got specific questions for me, click the "contact" button below and send me a message! 

Bette!!  That you are  amazing.  I love that picture. I have them same pants in my drawer now and will keep them for a nice " after " pic.

 Wow you look absolutely fantabulous...

My signature line tells you all you need to know. Almostt 5 years out and a very happy bandster.

I have had my band almost 6 years.  It took me one year to lose my weight.  I got smaller than I  ever thought I would.  I have maintained my weight for 5 years.  I have had a very smooth experience,  No problems except a slight small unfill, one tenth of a cc.  I was not in a hurry to lose the weight, but committed myself to the program.  I just took it one day at a time.  Did I cheat, you bet I did.  I still do.  The band has made it so easy to get back in control.  Good luck to you.

THank you!

you have a PM
