Any Lapband successes??

I am looking to get lapband sugery as soon as i get my health  insurance through medicaid... I know its a process before i get a date (hopefully  in Oct) so I wanted to know is there anyone in NYC forum that has had the lapband... was the surgery successful or did you need a revision?how much did you lose?? did it work for you?? Any saggy skin issues??The same questions you may have prob asked your doctor when you first start your journey. Thanks!

Hi! I didn't have the lapband but I know someone who did and she is the poster child for success. I don't know her total weight loss but it is at least 175 pounds. Yes she has saggy skin issues and is soon to have an all the way around panniculectomy. Alot of her success came from within. She used her head to make it work for her. She follows her doctors recommendations and exercises every single day. She is a true inspiration - even for me an RNY person.

Don't get the band, it sucks!!!

Well this post was months ago..i completely forgot out this..im deff not getting the lapband after all the complications ppl have been having recently..
