Me now 2020
WORTH IT$6,242
I’m happy I went ahead with the operation as I’m more conscious of my eating habits now.
I’m now 12st 11lb and I’m not losing anymore weight so I will focus on maintaining and exercise.
My observations regarding the band is that I struggle with bread, Chinese food and if I haven’t eaten in 4-5 hours I have to take my time to prevent discomfort/regurgitating food (this isn’t often).
I will try to get my band filled again at some point but right now I’m happy where I am.
Any questions, do let me know. XXX

Hi All,
Apologies for the delayed update but I’ve had a busy year.
Im currently 12st 9 at the moment as I started off at 15st. I’m not happy but pleased I’ve lost a bit. My goal is to be at around 9 and a half stone, 10st max as I want to get back to my happiest weight/size 8-10.
I’ve currently gotten 5ml in my band and that’s enough.
I’d suggest getting the band but do your research first and when it’s done chew a lot, take small bites and avoid pop. Best decision I made.
And if I decide to have kids in the future my band is for life!
I’ll continue to update every now and then.
Good luck on your journey!! X

Hi are you in pain still and how much weight have you lost so far. I am considering a band but can’t decide whether to go ahead with it

I had lapband surgery years ago and it did not help me at all to lose weight although I tried to follow the guidelines closely. Thousands of my own dollars down the drain. I know of many others whose lapbands have failed them. If you are thinking of a lapband , research the reviews first. A gastric bypass may have higher success rate. If you already have a lapband and it is working, I am so happy for you. Mine didn’t.
