Be honest: Would you do it again? If you knew what you knew now?

 Obviously I tried again, would you? I just really feel that this band can help. it's not the answer to all of our eating problems, but it does help with portion control, imo. 

Oh heck yeah!!!  Even though I'm a slow loser, I wouldn't have been where I am now without my band - over 100 pounds lost, from a size 30-32 to an 18, comorbidities gone, just overall healthier and happier!

 Yep.

I love my band and I have been very successful with it.  If  it failed would I do it again,  I don't know.  It would depend what the failure was due to.  If it was mechanical I probably would have it replaced.  If it was a slip maybe not.  It seem when people have slips it can happen more than once.  In my case the main reason I have been successful is because of portion control.

Yes, yes yes! I know I am only 6 weeks out and I still have challenges ahead of me. But already, it's taught me that I can survive on "Normal human" serving sizes.  It taught me that a Medium pizza per person is too much.  It has taught me to turn off my head hunger and listen to my body.  That just because I can stuff more in, doesn't mean I should or need to!

 

 

 in a heart beat!

 I am still really new to this, but at this point..yes, I sure would.

NONONONONO! :-(

Had I visited visited the band forum like I do now BEFORE my band I NEVER would have gotten one after seeing ppl post every day with leaks/port problems/slips/no restriction/etc.!

Looks like getting the band guarantees a 2nd surgery! Plus so many that I see on the forum that have had 2nd surgeries haven't even been successful with any significant weight loss!

Hoping your band works out for u though. Good luck!

Yes!

 Would I do it again?!  YES, YES, YES!  Oh, sure it hasn't been easy, but if it were easy, everyone would be doing it!  I'm a slow loser, but I am losing, I am healthier, and I am thankful for the Lap-Band!
