Sazparella- pcos and band buddies! I find more and more women with pcos. I absolutely hate it! It's a horrible condition. I'm nervous that it's gonna be harder for me to lose even banded becaz it always has been for me. Congrats to all the ladies doing so well, it's very inspirational!

Yea! I'm Tahnee, im a 31 yr old hairdresser from dallas tx. Ive struggled with my weight my entire life. I just got married last year and im hoping to have babies in the next couple years. That is why i want to get healthy now! I start my pre op diet on march 19th but I have been trying to eat healthy and smaller portions. But due to my lovely pcos, no matter what I do i NEVER lose weight unless it's something drastic! Needless to say I'm very excited about this surgery but also really nervous! How much weight are u hoping to take off??

I get banded April 2 and I would like a buddy to take this journey with me

My hubby has got me all worried!! He keeps asking me if I'm ready to not be able to eat out again like a "normal" person and have to worry about going to the restroom while out with friends and family to go vomit! He makes me so worried about it. He's supportive no matter what I decide, but I really don't think he wants me to do it (

I'm horrified of losing my hair too! I already have thin hair from pcos!! I'm also scared about having a foreign object in my body! What if it causes permanent damage to my stomach?!?! But I guess being fat is more harmful to me!

That's great! Do u think the plication has helped alot? I'm getting my band with plication on April 2 and I'm really nervous!

Where did y'all have ur plication done?

U look great! I have a question, can u wear a swimsuit without your port showing? Does your port show at all now that ur skinny?

Good luck to u as well!

Hey there, I'm having surgery with Dr Adam Smith at hurst surgery center in tx. Anyone else out there being banded there on April 2???

Hey jenn- I have pcos and will be banded on April 2nd! Did it help alot with ur pcos? I'm excited but don't want to get my hopes up. I also have NO sex drive but I'm still fat! Lol

Thankyou for the replies everyone!

Do u at least feel satisfied? How do you know when u should stop eating?

I'm confused, do lap banders ever get that "full" feeling? Some people tell me the food just piles up in their esophagus and the physically can't eat more without purging. Does anyone get that full satisfied feeling at all? In having the new iband (band with plication) so maybe that helps more with feeling full??

Im a hairdresser too! What is it about us hairdresser?! Lol!

I'm only taking off a week. Hope that is plenty caz I'm a hairdresser! Lol! Glad to see we have some new springers!

Melinda--congrats on ur success! That's great! Thankyou so much for sharing all that with me. It makes me really positive about it. Are u able to eat anything or do u have trouble with certain foods? How many fills have you had so far?

Thanks! Yea! I can't wait!

Welcome glove! We April bandsters are gonna rock it! The more support the better!

How much have you lost so far? Has been pretty easy to lose or is alot of work? Have u been filled yet? Are there any foods u can't eat?? Thanks so much Teri! I can't wait! Keep up the good work

Rae, how long did u take off work? I'm only able to take a week. Has the plication been working well? Do you get full faster and feel satisfied on less food? Are you on solids yet?

I'm self pay as well. I looked into Dr Ortiz, he is suppose to be a great dr. I really wanted the new plication but he doesn't do the band with it, he does one or the other. But he has amazing prices! I can't wait to hear about ur experience. We have to keep each other updated!

Losin, so glad to hear it! Who did ur surgery? I'm a little nervous caz my surgeon has only done 40 or them. How has the pain been?

I'm having my iband done on April 2. I'm super excited and a little nervous. Is it as great as it seems?? Has everyone had good results so far? Anything I need to be aware of?? Thanks )

I'm having the new iband done by Dr Adam Smith, he is in fort worth, tx....how about u?
