looking for people who have had a positive experience with lap band surgery

I had lapband surgery in September and it is the best thing that I have ever done for myself. Looking for others who feel as I do.

  • Hey guys. I got my lap band in October of 2011. I've had great success. I lost about 75lbs. I've recently gained some weight and am looking to get back in shape to be as healthy as possible because my boyfriend and I would love to get pregnant this year. We've been trying since September. Feel free to add me.

    I had gastric, not the lap band. That was in 2009. I lost but after a divorce, I ate my emotions. Need to get off about 40lbs I gained. The biggest tip they pushed at my orientation was to remember that it's a tool only and whatever "issues" got the weight on, wont be gone after the surgery. lol. Boy where they right. BUT that good thing is that I know what to do. I see now what my triggers are (emotional eating) and with support learning to deal with ways to work off those emotions rather than eating. I think the surgery for me was the best thing I could have done for myself.
