Hi I am getting banded Monday! I am starting to get a little nervous! but very excited I am more nervous because i have heard people sayin they cant eat at all or food gets stuck. I dont want to not to be able to eat at all! But I am more excited than anything! any one else a January Bander?!

Hi guys! I would totally love to keep in touch with you guys! its great to have support especially from people close in age...I totally had a lapse of time and said i was 19 lol I'm actually 20 turning 21 in 6 months! How do you do the facebook thing? My surgery is in 3 days well 2.5 days lol coming up fast but I am so excited to start a new beginning! good luck to everyone!

The lap band is not just a way to get rid of insucurites (although that is an added bonus lol) its about being healthy and being able to spend a long future with your husband maybe try explaining that to him! hope this helps[ url=http://www.TickerFactory.com/weight-loss/w4pTSHD/] [/url]

There is a doctor in Milton...Her name is Dr. Charlene Chao She is out of highland surgical which is located in the Milton Hospital...thats were i go and shes awesome! they all are

Yea I can have 2 shakes a day and one meal a day with no carbs and no fat...jsut chicken and veggies...then 3 days before the surgery I am on a clear liquid diet

Hi I get banded the 9th of January. I also have started my liquid diet on Monday and dont feel like I have lsot anything but im staying postive and am sticking to it. I dont think there really is any tips on how not to become hungry but I generally have a shake in the AM high protein meal with veggies and no carbs during lunch and then a shake at night. I dont kno if that helps but good luck to all of you and Happy New Year and NEW YOU!!

Hi crystal, I am also young(19years old) and have always been heavy and struggled with my weight my WHOLE life. I also was ashamed and thought it was the easy way out but its really not. Because you still have to excercise and choice healthy meals this is just a tool to help get and keep the weight off. My friend put it perfectly...people get surgery all the time(for ex. heart surgery) to save their lives and we're just doing the same. Just because its an "optional" surgery doesnt mean its not saving our lives... I felt akward telling people at first about the surgery but now i dont feel akward not at all....i told almost everyone whos in my life because the lapband is now part of MY LIFE. I wish you the best of luck in the future! Kerin
