I am a 32 year old woman. I had my lap band surgery on Feb. 11th, and it has been great. I had my first fill on March 26th, thank god, as it was needed at that point. This experience has been great so far. I have come off of my diabetes medication, which was the goal, and hope to soon come off of my CPAP machine. I have lost 30 lbs. so far, and am thrilled.
That was 5 years ago. The lap band proved to be a nightmare. I had a baby in 2009, and the band never functioned right after. It became such an issue that the things I was supposed to eat like my dense protein became impossible to eat. Things I wasn't supposed to eat went down smoothly. So, the weight came back. I was just revised from a band to a sleeve on January 15th. It is a definite life change, and I'm struggling a bit, but I know it was for the best.
