Has anyone had lap-band surgery and regreted it?
I had lap band surgery in 2004 — due to the hurricanes down in the Gulf of Mexico where I lived…it was almost 10 months before I had my FIRST fill… a rather amazing record. To date I have lost over ninety pounds of my 150 goal. As a 50 + year old lady, that is pretty wonderful. Sometimes I miss being able to “gorge” on food either psychologically or even physically. Food was such a false friend for so many years! but the positives far outweigh ( pun) the negatives — I take half the medication I used to do for blood pressure. My poor aching, aging knees thank me every day…and I am finally not the fatest person in the room! Compared to the more radical, body changing weight loss surgeries, this has been a much more gentle but effective way to lose weight.
