Hello, I have been reading the wealth of information on your site for quite some time now. I decided it was time to introduce myself. My name is Terri, I am 49 years old and have struggled with my weight forever and a day! I have had a lapband for approx. 10 yrs now, initially losing around 80 pounds with it but have slowly re-gained most of the weight.

I will be having my lapband removed and gastric bypass by Dr. Hagen. 

I look forward to sharing my journey and being a part of this group.

Hi Terri :)  Glad to see that you are posting. Even though you've been lurking for a while and aren't realy "new"...a big welcome goes out to you!  A great friend and my OH angel, had Dr. Hagen and has always spoken very good words about him.  I believe you are in great hands.  Good luck with your surgery!  Has it been scheduled?

Referral Sent:  March 19, 2010

Welcome. I had my wls done last week with Dr Hagen, he is wonderful. Although I have to say, I haven't heard anything but great things about all our surgeons.

You have come to a great place!

Welcome to the forum.

 

I was wondering if you could share with us about your lapband experience.  Were you able to achieve the sweet spot that we hear about?  Did you have any mechanical failure of the implanted device? 

 

Thanks,
