I love my band. I got tired of the yo-yo effect fad diets did to my weight; lose some, gain more. I tried every fad diet and even weight loss medications, only to lose a little bit of weight, and then after I ended the diet the weight piled right back on again surpassing my beginning weight. I’ve lost 150 pounds with the band. It was the best decision I’ve ever made. I feel great and I’m in perfect health. I’ve had my lap band for four and half years now. I recently had my first child and I’ve been able to maintain my pre-pregnancy weight thanks to the band.
