I had Lap Band done 4-16-08, I am down 25 pounds, so far!. I haven't had my first fill yet, will get it 5-28-08!. You will lose the weight slower but to me, in my situation, it was the safest!.
I was told that within three years you will lose all the weight but you have to exercise and diet!. I had a girl in my support group that became pregnant and the surgeon removed all the saline out of her band for the baby growing!. They don't remove the Lap Band!. Even with Gastric Bypass, after one year (recommended) you can get pregnant!. Go to the website LapBandSolutions!.com and check out all the information that you need!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

First off, you will loose about the same amount of weight as the bypass, however it will take longer!.
2nd you will be able to conceive with the lapband!. The lapband is 100% removable!. When you think you are pregnant you should then have it removed!. However if you are planning on having a family soon (next 3 years) you are better off to wait to have the surgery till after you have your children!.
Good luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Loosing weight does not prevent you from having weight neither does gastric bypass or the lap band!. They say that the band can be adjusted!. The first 100 will come off easy!. The next 70 slower and you will have to work to keep all of it off!. I had the bypass 29 years ago I was 295!. It saved my life and kept me from a like in bed!. I lost down to 148!. I now weigh 220!. They say I have done good but I don't think so!. I am addicted to chocolate!. I know that if I just ate 3 times a day I would not be so heavy!. IF I could go do it again you bet I would!. Best thing that ever happened to me except for my kids and husband!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
