Even though everyone is diffrent I still think that is a very realistic goal. I've lost 100lbs in 4 months! So you can do it!

With the lapband, it's all about compliance. If you want to lose 50lbs, you certainly can. It's about a lifestyle change and making the right decisions. I have had both lapband and gastric bypass now, and let me tell you, your decisions you make after you have the band are very important when it comes to food. A 50lb goal is a reasonable 5lbs a month, so it is attainable. Eating right and exercise will get you there.

I had Lapband on October 22, 2009 and have lost 65 lbs. I feel great and have energy. It is possible very much so. Do everything your Doc and/or Nutritionist says. Follow everytHing to a T. You will be amazed how much you can lose quickly.
