Thank you all so much! I've researched this as much I a person can and I have decided to meet with the surgeon next Thursday. After that, hopefully I will have my decision made. On the plus side (no pun intended), my mother has expressed interest to have the process down as well and she will be meeting with the surgeon right after me. If we do have it done, it'll be nice to go through it with her. Thank you all again for all of your honesty, support and care! Oh, and Clynn - you are a beautiful person, congratulations on your loss and good luck with the rest of your journey.

Hi all! I have been checking out this lap band deal; however I still have a few questions. 1.) how often do you need to go in for "adjustments"? 2.) is the injection device (don't recall the actual name) noticable? 3.) once you're healed, can you ever go back to eating "real" food, (ie. Steak, pasta, etc.) if you eat smaller portions? 4.) do you realy need the lap band? Could you go on the liquid diet and post-op food and get the same or similar results? That's a good start! If any of you lap-banders can help me with this questions, it'll really help make up my mind. Thank you!!!
