Weight Loss Lap Band Success Stories
has anyone had success with the lap band weight loss program?
success stories, or failed stories? any info you would like to share?
I had the band put in on May 12, 2008. It was the best thing I have ever decided to do in my life (except for getting married and having kids). I’m down 150lbs. After only 4 months I went from a BMI of 57 to 49 (I lost 10lbs before due to diet restrictions needed to prepare for surgery). My Knee’s and Back hurt a little still, but not like they did before. I was taking Percodan for the pain, now I’m taking Motrin. My heath is improving by leaps and bounds. I have had to stop taking my blood pressure meds and turn down my CPAP (sleep apnea) machine down twice. Now I’m at a BMI of 40. If I had gone into see the doctor about getting the band today, I would only be a borderline candidate. 40 is usually the cutoff but it can go down to 35 if you have other issues like diabetes.
Even if I stopped right here, it would have been worth it (not that I would be 100% satisfied). I even self paid ($16,000), so I obviously wanted my monies worth.
Just remember this is a life long change, but the band makes it so much easier to loose weight. I wish I had been able to do it at age 16 instead of 33.
Check out my source, they have a lot of great information on the band and on other sugary options. However, I believe the band is the best, since it the only adjustable and reversible weight loss surgery.
