For a change
Hi to all, I enjoy reading your posts and learning so much about the RNY surgery.
I just thought I would post something in regards to the lap band for a change in case anyone is thinking about this surgery and not sure!
As some of you may know I had lap band surgery a year and a half ago. I went south of the border too and have never regretted this. Great experience would do it all over again. I have had 3 fills 2 in the US and 1 back in Mexico, just had to go back and see Dr. Aceves.
I have lost 112 lbs : cool: just 20 lbs shy of my goal weight. It has not been easy but I have been very persistant. If anyone conisders weight loss surgery the easy way out they are seriously mistaken. I have worked my butt off for every lbs I have lost. I have had to face issues my good friend (food) was helping me avoid, I have had to make mental as well as physical changes. I truly believe this surgery not only helped me lose the lbs but also make positive changes in my life.
Does the band work? You bet!

thanks so much for your post!!!!
I actually have been talking (emailing) Nina today about scheduling my Lap Band surgery with Dr. Aceves.
I went back and forth about which Dr to go with (Aceves or Ortiz) but I've been so impressed with Nina and haven't read anything negative about Dr. Aceves so I thinking I've decided to go with Dr Aceves.
Thanks again for your post. It's so great to see such positive remarks about Lap Band.
I knew that Gastric Bypass wasn't for me and I'm so happy to have found this alternative!
Hopefully I'll have stats like you soon!
Thanks again!
