Thats awesome itll go by quickly! It did for me anyway! Good luck!

I live in the eastern part of Nebraska and am just starting my journey. I have my information session this Thursday at UNMC in Omaha. I have been sent paperwork to fill out to bring with me. I have to do a 6 month supervised weight loss, a psyc eval and a meeting with a nutritionist. I am sure there will be more to do as the time goes by.

Hmmm. Interesting. I wouldn't say it's painful. It's a bit uncomfortable. I think it's what you all described that it's the learning experience. It's one thing to read about it but to experience it is a different thing. It does seem to be getting better.
I agree. I just have to get used to smaller bites & lots of chewing. I beleive i'm watching what i'm doing at first and then I slowly go back into my old mode of eating. I just have to keep working at it.
Thanks for the advice,
Matt

being well versed in karate I would say do not do it. Your concerns are very real.

Your concern is a valid one. There's a lot more to TKD than sparring. It is a great exercise tool. If you spar, you will be wearing a hogu(foam vest) so it would have to be a pretty good kick but there are some young ones who do kick that hard.
I'd advise TKD for you even with the band. Just don't spar or make sure you are sparing with someone who has plenty of control. My wife is a 3rd degree BB and there are a couple of sparring partners who are pretty wild and can't control their kicks so good. But, believe me, talk to the master and they will know ways to avoid the kind of accident you wish not to have.

You guys lose weight and get a bigger penis, we girls lose weight and get smaller boobs. Seems horribly unfair

I may not stop at 80 lbs then

I've heard for every 30 lbs lost adds an inch to the penis.

Hah! One of lives dissapointments.
But the size increase can be a + for the lady as well. :wub:

I don't check in with this thread too often, it was kind of lonely. It is nice to see some new names added to the Nebraska list.

Hey Ive been on this site for over 4 months now and never saw this thread. I have been hoping to find someone in Lincoln with the band. I live outside of Lincoln but work at one of the hospitals in Lincoln. I had my band placed on July 20th 2007 in Mexico since I was self pay. My insurance didnt cover. I am only down 27lbs. It's slow. Anyways, I go to Dr. Hung for fills (have only had one though). Glad to see people in Nebraska! Tammy

How many of you has noticed increased penis size? I guess it was always there, just hiding.

Anyone out there from Nebraska? Home of the Huskers?

Hello,Just found this site,and i thought id introduce myself! My name is Brent and ive been overweight all my adult life.Ive only decided to do something about it in the last year! Dont get me wrong,iv'e dieted off and on over the years but never a "life change" like im doing now! I had Lap -band Surgery yesterday,yep the 14th of December,2011.needless to say i'm a little sore and alot hungry!

We're practically neighbors...I'm in Lincoln. Hope all is going well for you so far.

Heya LapBand Peeps,
(Just my luck, I don’t have all of my notes here at work when I’m thinking about this.)
Is there something that details the recommended amount of activity I can engage in during my recuperation after surgery?
Specifically. I was hoping to mow the lawn soon and didn’t want to fry myself out damaging something that hasn't fully healed.
Week 1 - Rest, Walking, Lift no more than 20lb.
Week 2 – Small amounts of ??exercise??
Week 3 – Small amounts of ??exercise??
Week 4 -
Week 5 -
(I'm 10 days from my surgery at this point.) {June 4, 2012}
Thanks in advance,
Matt

My surgeon basically said whenever I feel good enough.
The fitness consult girl said start a regimine after 4 weeks (walking + weights).
The nutritrionist yesterday said walking/biking now is okay, but no horseback riding (I own a horse and asked specifically).
So, I haven't been told anything consistently. So far I've just done some walking at a moderate pace.
