Hi healthy woman, Been thru that yo-yo dieting since my teenage years. It's been fustrating and depressing. Gaining more weight then I can loose. For me this is my last resort, and hopefully would not fail. I feel so much encoragements coming from everyone in this forum. I wish everyone success! Please keep me up to date with any of your hurdles(hopefully not any). Mine right now is being able to take my meds without them getting stuck! No matter how small I break them, they still get stuck. Ugh!!

Hi Ms. Lady, Hope you feeling well. I'm having the same issue you where having (sipping water makes the gas worseand then feeling pressure of my upper abdomen. Any advice how you dealt with this? Greatly appreciate it

Congradulations on your two week success And thank you for your encouraging words. I feel bad lying to my kids, but they won't understand. Its 7pm and I'm still at the hospital. Been sick with nausea and dizziness and only can hold 12oz per hour. What did you do with your gas pains. When I try yo burp it comes like a hiccup 

I'm scheduled for tomorrow morning at 9:30 a.m. and I'm sooooo scared. I'm not sure if I made the right decision. I gave myself another year went to the gym 3 times a week. but only lost 10Lbs.!!! I haven't told anyone in my family, just my mom. My kids (21 & 18) don't know. I've been telling everyone that I'm getting a hearnia surgery in my stomach. Which is true also. Any encouraging words please pass them my way.

Hi Randee & Marsha, How are you both doing after the surgery? Any regrets? I'm scheduled for 8/26 this Friday. Soo scared and not looking forward to the liquid week diet! Lol! I met up with Dr. Ewing. I think he is the greatest Dr. ever! He has the most pleasant bed side manner I've ever seen with any Doctor. I had an appointment with him at 5pm and didn' get to his office until 6:15p.m. and he still waited for me and and wasn't upset of me running late and answer all my questions and put my fears at ease. I'm happy I made the choice of having him do my surgery.

Hi Linda, I feel your pain. Be strong and think about taking care of you now. This is your time, and sometimes we need to be selfish when we are so giving. I wish you the best of luck!!

Hello August Bansters! I'm scheduled for my lap band on 8/26. Any tips for pre surgery preparation will be greatly appreciated.

I guess it still doesn't work. Hope the post op is not this difficult. lol!!

Let me see if mine works. When I post this. It seems so easy. I don't know why we have trouble doing it.

I got as far as developing a ticker, but can't for the life of me figure out which box to paste it too in the signature page. Is that the big box or one of the two small boxes in the bottom?
