Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

I had my band done back in 2009 and within the first couple of years, I lost 129 lbs without exercising. I chose lap band because I am the nervous type and didn't want anything I couldn't reverse. Since the weight loss, I'm naturally active now so it helps me with maintaining my weight loss. The band works if you have the discipline to go in for fills until you hit your sweet spot and if you have a great doctor like I did. I lost about 2 lbs/week and because it was a slow and steady loss, I didn't have problems with loose skin or losing my hair and was able to get most of my protein in by diet. I kept off the weight until I had a revision to a sleeve (2016). I still recommend the band if you have a great doctor or fill person if you want something reversible.

I had my band done back in 2009 and within the first couple of years, I lost over 100 lbs without exercising. I chose lap band because I am the nervous type and didn't want anything I couldn't reverse. Since the weight loss, I'm naturally active now so it helps me with maintaining my weight loss. The band works if you have the discipline to go in for fills until you hit your sweet spot and if you have a great doctor like I did. I lost about 2 lbs/week and because it was a slow and steady loss, I didn't have problems with loose skin or losing my hair. I admit that I didn't take any protein supplements either, but luckily I was able to get most of my protein in by diet.
