I paid for mine as well, and I felt the same thing! It wasn't that I regretted the life change, just the fact I spent so much money for it. But as the days pass it eases. Just the random life events that slapped me in the face and I was like darn I could us that money for other things to help us out. But my husband helps remind me that it was for the best. The way I was living before and my weight wasn't healthy, to have continued that way my kid would be with out a mom and he'd loose his love. He's a wonderful support for me! Couldn't do it with out him.

Oh no, it's where they fold your stomach into its self giving the effect of the sleeve just with out the actual cutting of the stomach. Very affective! As for clear liquids no I was on regular liquids the first week now I'm on pureed foods for 3.

It's been A week and 5 days since my surgery! So excited about it, so far I've lost 10 pounds but I'm scared its going to stop. With the embercation (that's where they tuck the tummy in and staple it) they won't fill the band right away. But with the small tummy I can't hold much, want that extra support of the lapband.
