Lapband: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly - Beaumont, TX

You can always try to get a second opinion if you are not happy with what your doctor is telling you. However sometimes finding another surgeon who will take you on may be a problem, but it would be worth it, in my opinion. I am not a doctor, just someone who had a bad outcome in the end. My experience was that the continuous vomitting was a band problem that shoudl have been removed a lot sooner than it was. Some people just can not tolerate the band, from what I've read. Be persisitent, and don't give up. Good luck!

Yes. I had a little pity party and gained about 10 pounds but I pulled myself out of it and I am doing great. I know I will have good days and bad and I'll just deal with it. I have a regular exercise regimen now that really helps. I kicked those ten pounds back down and if I don't lose another pound and just maintain where I am then I will be happy. If any more of it wants to fall off, I won't complain! Thanks for asking!

Really not as bad as I thought it would be. I work from home, so I was able to continue to do that with the laptop on my lap. I was able to go back to almost everything after 6 weeks. If this is something you are considering, I definitely recommend doing it. I am 100% glad I did it, and it makes all the difference in how you feel, just be sure you give yourself time to recover properly.
