Hubby Not Supportive Of Fitness Goals
Sounds like you were doing a pretty good job of bashing your husband. I am sure he appreciates you doing it publicly to strangers.

Vitamins
I have taken vitamins all of my adult life so there has been little change for me other than moving to chewable vitamins and adding Biotin.

How Supportive Have Your Doctors Been?
Luckily, all of my doctors have been VERY supportive of my decision to get the band. It would have been a bummer to encounter resistance from them. You need to surround yourself with supportive people before, during and after surgery!

Should I Change Surgeon Only Weeks Before Surgery Date?
Whatever surgery you chose I hope it is with a Dr you feel comfortable with. If you chose the band you are going to be dealing with this Dr a lot. Good luck and say hello to Hayley Westenra for me.

Stand Firm? Or Let It Go?
Tucker you mentioned meds and you may be right. That could be all she needs to help her with whatever is causing her attitude problems. Of course getting her to admit she needs help and go to the doctor is a whole 'nuther problem. But if she has anxiety or depression it would be so easy to remedy. Course I am not a medical professional. Just based on my own experience.......

Need Advice From The Veterans
Boy ain't that the truth. Not too mention all of the "old wives tales" that come up almost daily about the band.

12 Hours Banded
Great name "thunderbeast" I was in pain for about two days. I'd call the doc about not being able to drink though. You don't want to mess with dehydration.

Why Does Nobody Talk In Chat Room?
I wouldn't know. I only come to the forums. Does seem strange though that they stop talking like that.

Poll: Why Did You Get Banded
Tell us why you got banded people. Explain your reasons if you care to. Was it to improve your looks? A specific health issue? General well being. I think it will be interesting! I got banded to get my diabetes under control and to improve my overall health. I was tired of being tired! I gave up on my looks a long time ago. (see avatar)

Tough Day

You want to go by the scale that is calibrated regularly. If you buy your own scale are you going to have it calibrated every 3 months?

What Did You Eat For The Fourth?
My day wasn't as tasty as you guys. I had 3 protein shakes and a couple of Crystal Lights.

Emotional
I'm sorry but I don't see anything normal about crying after surgery. My back was killing me, but other than that I felt relieved I had finally taken the first step to better health. It never occurred to me to cry. Maybe it is just a girl thing.

Anyone Losing Hair?
Some people lose hair after being put under for surgery. I don't think protein will help that part but it might help it bounce back. About all you can do is get your protein in, take biotin. Someone mentioned zinc one time, but I don't know anything about that.

The Big Day Is Finally Here
