bandbun

Pea pure is awesome and sweetcorn pure.

I hope to be as sucessful as u have been cazzy, and welcome laura.

I think check with your doctor again, did your doctor not give u any rules to follow for eating, like how many weeks liquids how many weeks pure .. ?

Great advice from Mis and Cazzy, u shouldnt be too tight otherwise i too aso read it can cause many other problems.

Sounds like u are doing good, i know lipo can cause loose skin or skin with wrinkles i have seen, might be worth see a lipo expert and a plastic surgeon to discuss your options.

I still hide from camera's i hate the darn things, and even worse 'video's' and i know the anxiety wil kick in when i start exercising too. I think i am gonna get a heart attack from stress & worry about it all. I dislike feeling like that too.

You say 'injections' did u have more than 1 ?

the band stands a chance of changing the way you eat for life, it will help keep the weight off. Optifast will just help lose the weight , and then nothing, i know my choice, i dont want to put wieght back on once iose it.

Am glad i am older then ha.

It really is a decision that should come from your doctor, as its quite importat to get it right .

good advice just be patient i am sure eventually u ill get the restriction u need and want.

Interested to know too.

This is what my surgeon told me too, that some of the tales of disaster over the band are due to poor maintenance by the owner, theylike to be too tight and be sick all the time then complain when something goes wrong ..

I think getting all the fills covered in your self pay costs up front is an excellent idea ...
