G-9

Hello group. I was told that you guys were a reliable group for information...so i thought i would ask you all some questions. I want to have lap-band surgery. I believe I will be doing this some time in the fall. So I am trying to do some research...actually a lot of research. Does anyone out there know how many people with the lap-band experience weight re-gain or no loss at all. Percentage wise....I have read the trials for FDA approval and that was done on such a small amount of people that I would hardly call it reliable. I was wondering if anyone had any information on that or if some one could point me in the right direction. My worst fear is that I would get this band and work really hard to lose the weight and end up gaining it all back. I know that is a problem with RNY. I don't think I could emotionally handle that. Thanks in advance for any help you might have to offer. Jeannine
