I have not had it done but know people who have.
They only complained that they could not eat as much as they wanted but were very pleased with the weight loss.
And would not,speaking about the past,get in such a fat situation again:but eat much healthier.

I did no have the lap-band as it isn’t permanent, and the band can slip. Know a few who had it done and they had real bad problems. I had the Roux n y not sure of the spelling. I lost 165 lbs, and have had no troubles other then you can’t eat sweets. Know of plenty that had it done and have had troubles, and i had a cousin that died at 30 from having it done. I believe it is really a individual thing. As i said i have had no real trouble, and would do it again. I had to do a lot of classes, and show i was really going to try as i had to lose weight before hand, and have to still stay in touch with the center in Maine where i had it done. I live in Florida now still and the weight center in Maine still follows my weight. Im turning 60 next month and had it done in Dec of 06. Hope this helps you. You must be sure it is what you want and your doing it for you. You will see shrinks before hand, and it is a life changing ateration. Good Luck! Steve
I had my lap band surgery through Forerunners Healthcare Consultants in India I don’t regret it at all I had a baby since then and I’m still able to take the weight off so far i am very happy. The key is to use a reputable surgeon. You want to be carefully screened beforehand to make sure you are a good candidate. Since my surgery I can walk without getting tired, I can play with my son; I can walk down the street with my head held high. I feel pretty for the fist time in years. I was given another shot at life. The surgery is a tool and how well that tool works is up to you!!
I would do it again in a heartbeat. I would recommend to every one who is suffering from the same problems as I did before but I would urge anyone who is interested to seek the best surgeon possible and make the decision based on the surgeon’s recommendations and your own personal goals!! Make sure the reasons for the surgery are the right one. The surgery isn’t for someone who just “wants to be skinny”. Do it for your health, for your life, for family. FOR YOU.
