Nicely said..... This site is for education and encouragement to all who have undergone WLS.....there are many newbies, and many veterans.... The best advice anyone can give is to tell their own story and experiences...both Good and BAD.... I have learned more from reading people's hardships believe it or not.... I stayed away for a while....many people were being very closed minded, self proclaimed experts...telling people what they should and should not do....telling people "This is the way it it is....there is no variation, regardless what others may say" And yet you look at their profile and see their just starting out themselves.... When someone asks a question, for advice, and I an relate, I will ONLY respond with what I have found to be true, from my own experience, period. If life were only that cut and dried.... What is true for one person, may not be true for the next person....why would someone get angry because someone else has a different approach? And has the success to back it up? For instance...the classic question is "How much CC's should I have in my band to make it work?" And people would actually say what is acceptable and what is not!! How dare they!! What one person has and works for them can and will be totally different from the next....what is important is that the reader sees there are variations and sees what is, and what is not, working for everyone.

Nope... Didn't happen to me. I never had a gain on my journey. And the pain was bearable. It was just the gas that was uncomfortable for a week or so.... Best of luck to you.

I got my date January 22 which is exactly seven months from my first appointment and five months to the date of the day my daughter gets married. I am so excited but also so scared. My eating has been horrible since I got the date especially eating way to much sugar! I feel terrible and I have to much time between now and when I start my pre-op diet to keep this up. You would think I would learn but quess that what has lead my to needing this surgery.

Thank you for your pictures. That was very sweet of you to do. You look amazing. I'm sure you feel that way, too. Your before Lap Band and after pictures are super. You don't look like the same person. Have a great day.
