Just over two years ago, my husband and I underwent the Lap-Band procedure. He has since lost 198lbs and I've lost 77lbs. I've also run in my first 5k and wish to do another one this fall. I have another 37lbs that I'd like to shed and I think this is the place that will help me keep on track.

The Lap-Band is only a tool, which can easily be circumvented. Unfortunately. There just isn't a magic bullet. But the Lap-Band is the one thing that has helped me deal with my "broken" appetite meter. Still trying to deal with the "head hunger" though. That's a mental thing that can't be cured by ANY weight loss surgery. Sigh.
