Just by me changing my diet and my way of life my husband has even lost weight! I finally passed him up! Feels great!!!!!

A pic before Lapband and a current pic! Only 60lbs. to go!!!!! Can't wait until I reach my goal weight!!

The heating pad worked best for me! It was my best friend. It still is sometimes at night.

Wow, that is so crazy! I had my surgery back in March and I just started having chocolate cravings as well!!! Guess its our body telling us something. Who knows! If it gets to bad I have a piece.

When I went to see the counselor before I was banded she had told me a horror story of a lady that she seen who had the band. Since I heard that I told myself for sure No to cokes! It's now been over year and 3 months since I've had one! My Dr said no to all cokes even beer. I don't drink beer so not a big issue.

LOL! My husband asked me the same thing! I married him when I was skinny why would it be different when I lose the weight!?!? Guys are a little different.

I had that a little with my husband, but I talked him into going on a "diet" with me for support and he has lost more weight then I have. I was band on 3/8/2012 I tell him everyday how good he looks. This is taking the attention off me and on him.

Yeah don't want that issue after surgery! I only coughed a few times and I had a few tears! Ouch!!!!

Can anyone tell me how long it took you to heal in the port area? As far pulling and soreness?

Im right there with y'all! Had my surgery on the 8th of March and the gas pain is insain! Used the gas x and nothing tried to use the bathroom and nothing! Guess what did help me a lot! A heating pad! Where have you been all day! I had a little the 2nd day and thought maybe I had passed the worst part but NOPE! today it hit like no other pain! I'm down 8lbs. Since surgery and since I started pre op diet it have lots 25lbs in 3 weeks! Some motivation but so ready to start feeling better!

Newme2012: how are you feeling now? I was banded on the 8th and still a little sore but I just feel blahhh! The weird "I wanna burp and it makes it to the top on my stomach then stops!" feeling is driving me nut! did you have that?

Does that go away with time? Sure hope so!

I have another question. Does everyone have the weird feeling right in the middle of their stomach and sometimes it's hard to take a deep breath? I'm assuming it's where the band is but not sure. Just want to make sure everyone has this issue and will it go away?

Question: were you starving right after your sugary? I had mine today and ever since I have left there I have been starving! Had some chicken broth but I take it that that just passed right through!! Will it past?
