Hello to all, It has been two months for me this month since I have been banded. I went to Dr. Martin today for my fill up. I have lost 3 pounds. I was really worried about the holidays. To everyone else if I can do this, ANYONE can. So to all Keep up the good work and good luck. To all the New banders out there, It really is not that bad. Just remember it's only a tool you still have to do your part. For those waiting to be approved Don't give up and my prayers are with you.

Hello, and Happy New Year to everyone. I work during the day but as you can tell I don't go to bed very early. I would love to meet some of the banders and the ones looking to get banded. Best thing I have ever done for myself. It was worth it, just to be able to actually walk up stairs and not get out of breath. Mindful, good luck it really is NOT a bad surgery. You will do great. Babyboomer I as also sure I will be at the meeting in January I had my surgery done by Dr. Martin. Hope to see you there. I would also like to get together with THE BANDERS but I work days, so I would have to go at night or Weekends either would be fine. As for the holidays, I go Thursday for my Weigh In and Fill. I will let you know how I have done, I would be happy if I lose a Pound. HAHA. Well till next time, Good Luck to everyone.

It really does get better just hang in there.

Hello My name is Kathy, I got the lap band on Nov. 8, 2006, I have had only one fill and scheduled to have one next week. I also had Anthem and had no problems getting it approved, although I have 2 friends I work with who are trying to get approved they have UHC. I have lost 27 lbs. excited about that want more! Don't We All! The one thing I need to remember now is that you need to make sure food is really chewed good, it does get stuck, sometimes not bad worst case 5 min to be unstuck. A couple of questions I have is I never seem to get full and I still worry about what if the band pops open, I know don't borrow trouble but does anyone know if that is possible? Thanks
