I had the Lap Band surgery on May 15, 2007, and it has truly made a difference in my life.  Before I had the surgery, I weighed 265 pounds.  I now weigh 180 pounds and I hope to loose another 50 pounds but if I don't I am happy with the person that I have become.  I no longer lay down in bed at night and wonder where my next breath will come from.  I no longer lay down in bed at night and feel my heart pounding in my chest.  My knees and feet don't hurt me any more like they used to.  I can go shopping all day long before getting tired, where I used to only be able to do what I had to do...

My daughter received the lap band surgery in Mexico a little over a year ago.  It was unfortunate that she had to come up with ten thousand dollars in cash and travel outside of the U.S. to get this surgery done.  She should have been able to go through her health insurance and stay right here in the states.  However since  the surgery she has lost 92 pounds.  Before this she was bloated, dressed in jeans and sweat shirts and had no social life.  Her energy level was the speed of a snail.  She ate when she was depressed and of course she was always blue because of this extra weight.  Her...

Lap Band Surgery has got to be one of the only realistic ways to lose weight, especially for people who have had such a difficult time trying to lose weight. The best one I have heard of is the one which does not require surgery, it seems to be the safest, least dangerous method. I have researched this for my husband.

 I think the lap band surgery may save my life.I had it April 1,and have lost 35 lbs.My blood sugar and blood pressure are already down.For people who think this is an easy way to lose weight,it is hard-but as I can see results,it makes me continue to stick to my Atkins-type diet.To me,it is totally worth it-tho tonight I went to CC"s pizza and had salad and scraped the ingredients off each piece and ate them!!while my family chowed down.I exercise 3 times a week-and am finding this easier and easier

Lap Band surgery can save your life.  Don't let being overweight make you be afraid to live life to the fullest.  Let yourself be in control of your weight and looks.  Do away with diabetes, stressed joints, fatigue. Cut your risk for heart attacks, strokes, peripheral vascular disease and skin ulcers and skin ailments.  As a long-time Registered Nurse, I see first hand how many people suffer many health ailments due to their weight problems.  I've seen how lap band surgery can give you back your health. It can make enjoying your family, your spouse and your personal time so much better. It...

I had lap band surgery in November of 2005 and  I feel so much better than I did before the 70 pound weight loss! I had Dr. Kwon and he was very professional and helpful during the beginning, middle and still now. the band is a tool and nothing more the rest is up to you but for me it was a tool I definately needed. I have not reached my goal and at this point I realize I may never but even if I never do reach it my back, my legs and ankles all feel so much better just because of the 7 lb loss.

I had LapBand surgery almost 2 years ago, and I have lost 80 pounds and kept it off with ease! It was the most amazing procedure and I love my band, and I have a totally new life now because of it! I have two young boys and I can run and keep up with them now. I have never been healthier and I would do it again in a heartbeat! I highly recommend it to anyone struggling with their weight, because it gives you an amazing tool to help fight the battle against obesity!
