I was so enthusiastic about lapband surgery; all approved by the ins. company, but....I had to have emergency gallbladder surgery. I was very sick. The surgeon tried to do laproscopic surgery; it didn't work, so I ended up with a full cut. I am told I should wait at least a year before considering lapband. :think

Oh no I'm so sorry but I glad you had your gallbladder removed. I know that pain. I had mine removed several years ago. Just stick with LBT and learn even more about being banded while you wait. "Live Like You're Banded"

Start tasting protein drinks, join a local support group, have a protein shake for breakfast, get your 64oz of water in a day, daily vitamin and start walking.
