Hi everyone 8 months for me and I love BBQ'd chicken(boneless skinless) , no more steaks for me to much chewing it gets kinda flavorless, chili, lots of hearty vegi soups, whole wheat bread & pastas, if your going Mexican food anything crunchy no flour tortillas just eat it with tortilla chips , ISO-pure protein powder 40 grams per scoop hope its helpful

Well I have my surgery date on July 8 I have diabetes, high bp, sleep apnea, and iam only 30, I weigh 315 and am 6'1" iam so sick of living like this I can't wait to start my new life so what iam getting at is my sister is only 20 and is probably 280 to 300 she also is tall. I was talking with her that something needs to change fast or she's heading down my same path. I had her convinced on the lapband and how well it works so she scheduled her endoscopy test , went and did it, had her sleep study last night, and yeah I just found out that she's having second thoughts and she didn't do her sleep study so yeah I'm pretty angry we were supposed to do this together and now she's backing out iam totally still going through mine iam so excited for me but she needs help and I don't know what to do iguess it boils down to her decision any advise

July 8, marina del ray ,ca. Dr. Madan. Holy crap its almost here iam so pumped let's do this

Your encouragement comes from inside not others telling u, if u want it bad enough you'll achieve it, life isn't just a walk in the park sweetie its rough in many ways ,and so is loosing weight...........

Omg I can't believe its going to Happen, approved for middle of July , I can't wait to get my new life started. ooot ooot

I will prob end up having mine done by him next month I have to go to a Center of expertise and he's the one that handles that with 1800 get thin. But I have heard A LOT of good stuff about him my tech that did my stress test works with him and he said he's known as one of the best and that if his wife or family members were getting the LB he would want him doing it. And for his so called death under him it had nothing to do with the surgery aspect she had other problems. Murrieta,ca

Anyone banded by Dr. Madan my insurance requires me to go to a center of expertise and he's the one that deals with that out of marina del ray hospital when dealing with 1800 get thin. I have heard ALOT of good things about him but a few more wouldn't hurt . It's lookin around July august for me. And has any one had insurance (anthem blue cross) pay 100% ? beautifull. Murrieta,ca

I was wondering if the LB has any affect in riding dirtbikes, racing motocross. It's part of my life and hope that I won't have to give it up

Diet or light cranberry juice and some absolute or gray goose vodka is killer .

Hi iam 30 years old 6,1 and 320 lbs iam getting banded in 2 months very excited to seriously start a new life . I have ridden dirtbikes my whole life and its basically apart of my life so what iam getting at is, is there anyone who is into riding that had been banded. By shedding the weight how much of a difference is it when riding or racing ect. Does the band interfere with riding,
