Lapbandster

Congrats on going down all those dress sizes!! I'm scared that if i dont actually feel "full" like i'm used to, then i'll just keep eating what if this "really satisfied" feeling isn't enough for me? Maybe i'm just worrying for nothing??

Really your full feeling is the same as before??? I thought it was different! Thanks for your input

Hello everyone! I am new here so i figured i'd make a post introducing myself to you all. Although i only became a member now, i have perused through this site many times and have found so much useful information- thank you all for that!! So basically, i'm 22 now and have struggled with weight all my life. It's been rough for me, and losing weight was not even my worst problem- it was keeping it off!!! But to be honest, it was always because i never felt full so after dieting i just went back to eating big meals. (maybe thats because i didn't make dieting into an actual lifestyle..?) But now the time has come for me to turn to WLS to help me keep it off. Of course i'm being my usual neurotic self and worrying about this but I truly feel like i gotta take the plunge. I am right now finishing up my undergrad degree in Biology (this is actually my last semester) and want to eventually go into medicine. I have big dreams and goals but foremost i want to get fit and healthy so i can gain the confidence to move forward. So uh, i guess that was my introduction (wow, so even online i'm awkward with introductions and new people lol)

Hello everyone! I am hopefully going to do the lapband (yay!) but i am wondering about the "full" feeling after eating. The doctor who i met with has said that the feeling of fullness will not be what i'm used to, and i won't feel it where i'm used to feeling it. Can someone please fill me in as to how this will feel? is this new fullness a sensation that i'll have to get used to? Will i never feel satisfied like i'm used to? Thanks in advance for all input Hanna P.S. If this has been discussed elsewhere please post the link, i just didnt see it discussed

Hello Sabrina! I am also from the Chicago area. I met with Dr. Vafa Shayani, but i'm not sure if i will use him.... He seemed amicable, but i'm just looking for someone who i am very comfortable with. Have you met with any doctors yet?
