Here is a short update to those who wanted to know about the lap-band for losing weight. I just got my on-on the 4th of June. It was one night stay in the hospital. I have been on a liquid diet for two weeks now. One before the surgery and one after. It is hard but not impossible. I have lost a wopping 18 pounds!! The recovery is going really fast. Just after a few days I was out with my husband doing a little shopping and riding in the car for a long while. It really doesn't hurt too much. I am now on phase 2 of my diet. It is soft food such as baby food, yogurt, pudding and stuff like that. Hope I lose another 10 pounds in the weeks ahead on this phase of the diet. I hope to write more as more of my weight fall off. And if anyone is considering the band or has already got theirs, I wold love to hear from you.

I have been considering this surgery for quite some time. How much weight are you wanting to lose? I need to lose about 55 pounds. What are the chances of gaining the weight back? I am tired of yo-yo dieting and spending thousands of dollars on weight loss programs that work at the beginning but I end up gaining back all the weight plus more. Don't want to get gastric bypass - I think it is too risky. Lap belt sounds better since, from what I have read, the band can be altered (loosened/tightened) and also removed if needed. Also I think it is less invasive.
I hope you are continuing to do well. Would like a response if you are able. How long is the recovery period?
