Lap Band message board
In case some didn't know, there is a Lap-band message board on this site, go to Forums and when the screen drops down, go to surgical forum,then a screen will open on the side that has all the different surgical procedures on it, hit Lap-Band and you will find the message board. I tend to use that one alot since that's the surgery I am having done and I have read a few questions on here that Banders were getting confused with RNY patients. Just thought it might help if people didn't know.
>> There's no judgemental bull**** like on some of the other boards << I certainly hope you're not talking about our little group
And for those who had the Realize band, you too have your own forum

I soo agree that the Lap-Band board is a little more positive, what I like too is that is is very active. There are big differences between RNY and Lap-Band, not saying that one is better than the other,but it really helps to deal with people who have had the same surgery.I saw Lap-Band people asking about dumping..and you do not have that with the Band. All the surgeries require a different eating lifestyle. Best to learn what YOUR surgery requires.Good Luck to you Michelle and thanks for your response. from one Jersey Girl to another..
