Guest guest Posted June 2, 1999 Report Share Posted June 2, 1999 Hi Patty: I think that you will find that everyone is happy with the band, for the most part. It is not perfect, that's what I've been told, but the first question I always asked anybody was " would you do it again? " and everyone I asked said " yes. " I'm sure others are going to agree with me. I think it's the fact that the band is only a tool and you will have to do some work yourself. This list is for everyone to tell of their successes and their problems and I'm sure that the successes outweigh the failures. Hang in there and listen to what others bandsters have to say.

Guest guest Posted June 2, 1999 Report Share Posted June 2, 1999 Kaattlady....I would recommend the band op. over any other surgery option...We have a support group in NZ and none of us have had any of the problems you suggest...we have a skilled doctor...I have lost 30 kg in 6 months...others in our group have similar stories....Comet From: kaattlady@...

I have been reading all of your messages and it seems theres alot of trouble with the band, getting it regulated slippage, getting food stuck and there doesnt seem to be alot of weight loss, where as the lap rny seems to have a lot of weight loss and not as much trouble. I am do to have surgery June 19th in Mexico and was decided on the lap band but now i'm having second thoughs because I haven't heard alot positives out of everyone. would you stay with the band or if you had it to do over would you go to the rny. I'm just so confused. Help Patty ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Campaign 2000 is here! http://www.onelist.com Discuss your thoughts; get informed at ONElist.
