Considering the band??

Postby Jan Jones » Thu Jun 03, 2010 9:05 pm

Hi, I'm considering banding and I'm a little concerned about the procedure I'm an old bit chicken and I'm very interested in talking to anyone out there that's kept their weight off for a long period of time i.e. isn't new to banding :?:

I'm 12 months in and doing fantastically!

I think the band is the best decision I have made in my life. I have lost so much weight and I plan on losing so much more.
Go to an info night and find out more from real people who have been through the whole procedure and feel free to ask lots of questions in here.

Hi Jan, type in "Marie" into search at the top of page. When the topics and comments come click on "life with a lap band 9 years on" and you will see Marie's comments she has been banded 9 years and you can always send her a private message and I an sure she will get back to you.
