Okay thank you

Okay thank you. So it means if I'm not full I need a fill?

Thank you both! MLR what is the app called? And what determines a fill?

Thank you

Thank you again fran Congrats to you booboofachi and thank you! I will definitely keep everyone updated

Thank you sooo much fran I appreciate your kind words of encouragement. I think I've made up my mind and want to go through with the surgery. Did you have to do a liquid diet before the surgery?

Thank you so much hope you're feeling better!

I love walking thank you again for your help

Thank you so much

Thank you all very very much! I am more confident about the surgery than I was yesterday. I will be sure to check out myfitnesspal! Another question I have is how many times did any of you work out (weekly),if at all..what are some excercise ideas? Thank you again!

I'm scheduled to have my surgery on september 13th. I am 18 years old and I am very excited to get the lap band. But I am having doubts. I do not want to feel a lot of pain and I'm not looking forward to the gas or shoulder pains people have been talking about. I'm really nervous about hair loss as well. And I don't know how ill be able to adapt to new eatting habits. So my question to people who have been banded, will it be worth it in the end?

Stateofzen, Hi first I would like to say you look amazing! I am so inspired after seeing your pictures. I have a few questions. I am being banded september 13th! My question to you is did you have any flabby skin during the process of loosing weight? And how much did you excercise weekly? Thank you

My surgery date is september 13th!! I start my preop diet on august 30th. I am soo ready for this

Congrats!! Let me know how the liquid diet goes

Congrats to you all I'm excited as well!

Did they your sisters have a problem with excess skin or no?

I am going to be banned on September 13th!! (in NY) im so excited but i am also nervous. I am only 18 years old and keep thinking of small "what ifs" too. I am mainly concerned about excess skin.. Is anyone else worried about that? I am also concerned on the fills. I have read that some people are not successful after their first fill.. and some people arent successful until their first fill. I dont know, maybe thats just some people. I start my liquid diet on August 30th, i am kind of nervous for that too.

Thank you so much for the tips! I appreciate it greatly. When did you have your surgery? And how is it going for you?

I am 18 years old and will be getting the lap band surgery on september 13th,2011! it has been a year since i started this process. I am new to this site so I would love to hear your stories and such. I weight 305 and plan on reaching 125. I know it is a big goal but I am determined. I am concerned about the fills. How do they work? What determines when you need a fill? I have to do a liquid diet starting august 30th. Any helpful ideas for that?
