the band doesnt rot eroid simply means tearing thru the stomach wall.. soda is fine in moderation but is best to avoid because the bubbles can be painful cause gas and may streach out ur pouch...

Jen I just turned 27 Dec 1 st and still consider myself young I was just banded Dec, 14, 2010!!!

Hi everyone! My name is Jen. I was banded on 12/17 and am new to this site. I am 23 y.o. (Is there anyone else here young out here?) and have been overweight since adolescence but recently gained 60lbs since graduating college! This is when I knew I had to do something. I have tried, successfully and unsuccessfully to lose weight but I knew that I had to have more help than just diet and exercise when I tipped the scale at 225! (I am only 5'0) It was about 5 months ago that I attended an info session and began the pre-op process for surgery.

For those of you considering surgery, feel free to ask me any questions. and for those of you that are ahead of me in this process, I look forward to learning from you.
