Band on The Run

Thanks guys. David I agree w/ Dave you should see your doctor. Chad

I have sleep apnea and borderline diabetes. I have done Jenny Craig (2), Atkins, Low Fat and many others. The main thing was a picture last Christmas. It was of me and my two nephews. It was sad to see that picture. I lost an uncle 16 years ago. It still affects me to this day. I don't want them to go through the pain I have had to deal with. I'm not getting younger and started to look into the band. Good luck to you. It will work out for you if you are ready for the journey and and have support from those that are important to you. Happy New Year!!! Chad

Thanks

Kim, I live in Las Vegas. You will not regret it. Its the best choice I have ever made. I hope it goes smoothly for you. You need someone to talk to i think this is the best place. If you need anything let me know. Chad

I don't regret the band for one second. I got banded on Dec 10th. I was expecting a lot of pain and always being hungry. But that hasn't been the case. I am full after eating 4oz and very minimal if no pain. My back hurt after. But I think it was because I was on my back for so long. I'm sure that metal surgery table didn't help. I have tried so many diets without any luck. You are starting with the a good attitude that your doing it for you. Good Luck to you. Go RedSox!!! Chad

I was also banded the 10th. I was surprised that have not been hungry. I use a small tea cup plate and say the alphabet twice while chewing and then swallow, that seems to help me. I had my first intro to solid food last week (chicken slices and cheese). That was a mistake. I was in the bathroom all night and I wasn't vomiting. I was told after one week i could start solid foods. But I was like heck no, i will stick with the 4 weeks until solid food which starts on Monday.

My name is Chad and I have been looking for somewhere to discuss whats going on. Look forward to talking to all of you and learning new things,
