  1. hi im not banded yet , thinking about it and checking out all my options befor i commit , i have some questions i love water and drink lots of it in summer i can drink 3 cups at a time , will i still be able to or will i only be able to drink it slowly? how long would it take me to drink the 3 cups if i was banded? i eat fast and i know i will have to slow down to eat if i get banded so how long would it take me to eat my dinner as to a person who eats at a normal speed and isent banded how much food will i be able to eat at one sitting , im not a big eater but i would like to be able to eat a smallish normal size meal , im not in the habet of eating them , but lets say a plain hamburger could i finsh something of that size? when you move around can you feel the band? fill port?? what happens if you get sick and need to vomit say you have a tummy bug and it has to come up can it ? would it hert? im 45kgs over weight do you think if i got from my 103kgs back to my norm of 65 kgs will i feel like i have more energy ? pasta is one of my main foods i make it form scratch and just love it will i have to give this up? so the people i need to help give me the answers to some of these questions would have to be someone who has been banded for some time and knows how i feels and i know not all people are the same so im hoping a few of you out there that have the time can give me some idea on what to expect..thanks
