Joy Jackson Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 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 Jackson England.

Guest marys Posted October 18, 2006 Report Share Posted October 18, 2006 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
