Question:
anyone have gallbladder removed, having lap band, will i lose weight fast?

Going in for lapband (AGB), I had my gall bladder removed a year ago and i have been gaining weight. I weigh 330 at 5'5", has anyone else had the same experience and had a good weight loss results w/ the lapband? or was it slow. Any advice?    — Nancy N. (posted on February 12, 2003)

I've averaged a loss of 10-12 months with my lap band. I'm very pleased. I started at 319 and am down to 246 in 6.5 months. Check out my webpage http://pages.ivillage.com/what.a.green.day/ for lots of good info on the AGB. The weight loss with the lap band is at a more natural pace. No one knows I had surgery unless I told them. That's important to me. Good luck with your AGB.

I had my gall bladder removed 10 years ago. Just had lap band surgery on 01/30/03 with Dr. Sanchez. I am 5'4", starting weight of 250, down 16 lbs. in 14 days. Looking forward to my first fill in another 2 weeks. Just a suggestion, but you might try checking out the various bandster boards on yahoo....there are others that have had tremendous results with the lap band.
