    hair loss and hair growth....

    I only take 5000 biotin, and not facial hair. Could be hormones changes due to weight loss.

    Any advice?

    Most people have at most one overnight in the hospital. Many are done as outpatient. Most seem to go back to work in 7- 10 days. The complete "recovery" takes 6-8 weeks. Ask away, we are here to help. Lap Band is one of the best decisions I ever made for myself!

    lap band and insurance

    Work with your doctor to help you with a plan.
  9. Mine came right back up. Taste is nasty!

    Bread, rice and pasta

    Never eat white rice... it is the worst for carbs. I can eat very crusty bread, but not the soft parts, so no loaf bread. I can eat pasta, but I chew the heck out of it and have only had it 5 or 6 times in 13 months. Not worth it. I stick with good lean protein/meat, fish and high fiber veggies, and only sweet potatoes, with splenda, no butter.

    First fill today - nervous!

    Good, now stop worrying, it causes stress which is known to cause eating! LOL
  13. You will be healing for at least 6-8 weeks. Don't rush things and you will be fine. It is major surgery, so expect some ongoing issues as your body heals.

    Sensa

    I don't think you need gimmicks with the band. Just follow your plan given you by the surgeon and nutritionist.

    Dating and explaining weight loss

    I tell people that I am on a high protein diet and working with a nutritionist. If the BF is serious and you trust him, tell him. He could turn out to be a big supporter.

    Surgery in the morning!

    Some of us on are here late, come back and we can keep you company. Best wishes for tomorrow, I know how excited you must be!

    40 lbs. down so no fills yet. . .

    Maybe not... they like 1-1.5 pounds a week so 6 is right on target!
  21. I agree with all of the above. It is the worst stage, but it will pass. We promise!

    Body rejecting sutures!

    Had the same experience... not uncommon at all! You will heal fine now... but be on the watch for more... red pimply things! I hope you have just the one!
  23. Good day... feeling more positive.
