Im a waiterss at a downtown restaurant I was banded on a wenesday and was working a full shift Saturday. But I'm also 25 with a medium to high pain tolerance. I'm now almost 2 weeks and now just a little discomfort at the port site.

Whoop whoop great job keep it up that's motivation for me. I'm 1 week out

I got banded on the 5/22/12 I was back to work as a waitress yesterday at a busy downtown restaurant. I start summer school on 5/29/12. I have lost 4lbs so far and eating soup. I'm moving a Lil slower but nobody knows the difference. I didn't tell anyone but close family. I'm also ready to start my start to a new me. Next week I'm going to start my hour of speed walking. Also I won't get my first fill till July 6th that's why I need to start my workout regime. I also downloaded my fitness pal app. So good so far.

Good luck I'm 2 days post op. I'm feeling a little tired but I'm doing well

I'm officially banded. I met with so many people that were sooo pro sleeve. I'm pro weight loss. But 1 day out and I'm drinking n walking and talking. A little burpie but I'm well.

My surgery is today. I'm nervous and excited all at once. In lessthan12 hours I will officially be a banded bandster...lol wish me luck and a speedy recovery I start summer school next week.

I've decided to get the surgery so I can walk up stairs and not be out if breath Wear jeans without spandex No have diabetes and high blood pressure Not be the fat friend Be looked at as a pretty girl not the big pretty girl More clothing options People can sit comfortably next to me in a plane bus train ect... Need I go on

My surgery is in may 22nd I've decided on purging my kitchen. If I don't I'm setting my self up for failure. I'm getting ride of the bad and ugly and keeping the good. It's us bandsters against the world from now on. Don't worry we got this.

I'm just choosing to do this on my own. I've been fat on my own I've been depressed ion my own I've been unhealthy in my own and I'm paying for this surgery on my own. I've decided to put my foot down and do something about it. I'm not saying you all don't know how I feel but when the majority if your friends are fat and their not trying to change you just have to do it on your own. I'm eating better going to the gym and broke up with my boyfriend. I'm 25 it's time for me to start living.

I feel it's your own personal choice. I'm choosing not to tell because even though the public can see I am overweight what goes through my mind is private. I'm the type of person to do things in my own. I have enrolled in karate class that starts a month after my surgery which is may22nd. I had brought it up to one of my friends that I might do it and she shunned it. I started going to the gym and I believe my friends are sabotaging me. They always want to go out to eat n drink. I have turned them down quite a few times.

I'm 25 and I'm not telling anyone but my little sister about my surgery. I am ready to make this change. I'm a college student working on my second bachelors degree. I was saving for a new car but decided on the lap band my health is more important.
