i was banded on the 31st of january ,iam in bandster hell and to add to my confusion , i was getting out of the shower and it looked like a piece of scab was peeling from one of my incsions so i dry off and get my cocoa butter for my stomach and as iam rubbing it on i see its not a piece of scab but a piece of string,thread idk wth help im falling apart from the inside out !!!!

congrats !!!

i dont know what waiting period u are talkin about i went to my seminair in sept,had sleep study and psych eval in oct,blood work in nov surgery in january.. but i dont see why u cant get it all done before 6 mts !!! GOOD LUCK !!!

omg really lol tears nsv way to go !!!!!

i told my job i was gettin a hiatial hernia repaired,got a note frm my dr i could return without restriction that was all they needed. iam a cna....i was out for 9 days

i got my protein powder from gnc it has 20 grams of protein per scoop it is called amplified wheybolic extreme 60, my surgeon gave me a whole shopping list and where to find the things he wants us to have...it taste good too good luck they have a flavorless one as well.....

congrats on your fill !!!

well what is it already ???

your journey to loseing weight...(the losers bench)

love your story thank you for shareing your sucess !!!

welcome to the losers bench.....

um no you gain weight from surgery some people dont lose weight for a while its a slow process...but every one is different my first post-op appointment was 9 days out and i had lost 12lbs i go back in about 4 weeks for my 6 week post op and will not get on a scale till then.. good luck on your journey,,,relax and heal !!!!

i get it i do we all need to make better choices when it comes to food ..however if i bought fat-free,sugar-free tasteless foods i would not have needed this surgery to begin with about 9yrs ago i lost 85lbs on my own,got pregnant,had my thyroid removed and wham its back, i joined a gym back in may and have lost very little weight...guess what i like food so as far as a diet they dont work for me will i make better food choices for the most part yes i will .. will i always make the right or best choice prob not but because of the band i will stop at one slice of pizza and not eat 4 or 5,and as far as a diet not for me...so i dont understand when some people say diet,low fat, sugar free yap.yap,yap !!!! thanks for letting me get this off my chest ....
