Anyone with the LapBand?

Hi,
I live in Western Washington and I got the Realize band about 8 months ago. I haven't had a lot of success and I'm really struggling because I feel like no one really knows the struggles that i'm going through. My mom is really supportive but she hasn't had the surgery so she doesn't really know exactly what i'm going through. I'm also going to a support group but I'm the only person in the group who has had the lap band. All of the other people have had Gastric Bypass or the Sleeve. I'm really in need of someone who has had the surgery and that I can talk to and reassure myself that I'm on the right track and that I made the right decision.  Someone I can talk about the experience with. Sorry to sound so whiny on here..

Hi, I'm kinda out of my teens but had the realize band surgery done in march and have lost 58lbs since then. If you have questions or would like to talk feel free to message me or check out some of the other forums. the lap band/ realize band/ and wls in your 20s forum are some of my favorites

Check out the Lap Band forum!! Not everyone there is in their 20's, but you will get a lot of advice from other bandsters. I can't give much advice yet as I'm getting banded on Jan 20th, but I have found the forum to be of great resource. The people are great and always ready to help give advice, share stories, or just to listen while you vent out your problems and feelings.
