I started coming to this site in January. I am scheduled to be banded next week. I found so much support and positive encouragement. I also saw so many people who have done so well. Now for the past week, every new thread is negative; the band is broken, surgury needed, cant drink/shallow/eat, acid reflux, major complications....on and on.
I am not sure if it is all in my head or is there no one out there that is having a positive expirence? Is it that people only start a new thread when there is something wrong? Are there really that many people having MAJOR complications and is there an equal or greater number of those who are very happy with no complications?
Just needing to hear that there is some good in the band. I am still moving forward with my plan. I wnat to change my life. Perhaps I should just not read the site for right now.....

Jane you been sick or food poisoning? Diarrhea in combo with not enough liquid can make it worse don't panic but do you have someone that can get u there?

Hi I'm new here and I have my first surgery consultation 4/19 ....so i read somwhere that you have to be off birthcontrol before surgery, so my question is is that true and if so why?

I can eat bucket fulls if I let myself! Popcorn is one of the things I actually wanted the band to help with - but so far it's up to me to control.
