Just starting....


Recommended Posts

Hi, I am just looking into lap banding as a way of losing this 5 stone of weight I have carried since I stopped smoking some 10 yrs ago. I want as much info as I can get as its such an expensive thing to do. Can we hear fropm folk who are a couple of years (say) into the programme to see how they have fared and whether they think it was worth it?

Joy,

This is a specific doc's website (Dr. Ortiz) so you'll mostly find people thinking about banding and just banded post here - you might try www.lapbandtalk.com - which is a wider/larger group of people - you will find many threads for people that have been banded for up to 5 years there. I've been banded almost one year (one year in Nov) and I have very mixed feelings about this band. Primarily because I have only lost about 10 lbs. For some people the band DOES NOT WORK. So, do think very carefully about what you are doing. It is a very expensive tool and you should explore it very thoroughly before doing it. good luck
