LAP BAND - anyone have this procedure?

Curious if anyone has had this procedure and could tell me about the process, cost, success, limitations, etc

I qualify for it and it seems like maybe a good option for me since nothing else seems to work.

I am 6'2", 302 pounds, and have been trying to lose weight for over 10 years. Only gaining it.

My Mom had it done, she lost about 60 pounds and then put it right back on. It's a quick fix and doesn't change anything. Weigh out your foods, make better selections on your choices, and exercise. And lay off the thc, it's probably not helping your eating habit.

Yes I had it done, loss 72lbs., then within 3 yrs put it all back on. Bummer!!!! You have to have your head right. And if your head is right you could lose the weight on your own. I still suffered with head hunger even when I physically couldn't eat anymore which would cause me to upchuck. I am just food addicted!!! That is all!!! Best of luck to you!!!

My mom had this done aswell. Not only did it NOT help her lose weight, she chokes and pukes on everything that isnt baby food. Not matter how tender and small she cuts her food, she still chokes. One thing she can swallow is Ice Cream! Great way to lose weight huh?

Yuck my Mom went through the same! It was very disgusting watching someone puke into the kitchen sink or a cup at dinner EVERY night and all day long when she tried to eat. I forgot about that part blah
