How many suffered from bulimia prior to banding?

[Amanda2008]

I'm just wondering if there are others on here who decided on LapBand after a history of bulimia.

This is the case for me. I was bulimic for 18 years, beginning at age 13. I was always overweight so only my close friends knew I had the problem. I did every kind of psychotherapy available, treatment programs, medication... and nothing helped - I always went back to the behavior. I took a risk on Lap Band and I am so glad I did. I am completely cured, and am a completely different person. Before I had no hope, and now I am happy.

Are there any others with a similar success story?
