Had my 2nd fill today and I finally feel like I have some restriction. Hopefully I'll get this weight loss ball rolling!
My surgery date was May 18. I've lost about 25 llbs since my heaviest weight last fall.

I'm 3 days out of surgery and doing well. I'm still sore but each day gets better.

I had a choice and chose the Lapband. My doc said he truly didn't have a preference. He said each has their own claims as to why their product is better but the independent studies don't confirm their claims.
I chose Lapband because those pillows looked comfy.

Thanks everyone. I'm a little sore today but able to get around quite a bit.

Hello Lilbelly,
I cannot tell you how nervous I was right before hand. I actually cried all night, because I thought I was making the wrong decision, but then I had a revelation right before surgery that this was something I was meant to do and it was my time to shine. I am really glad I went through with it. You will be absolutely fine and just remember your doing this for your own personal investment. Plus afterwards, we are going to look soo good!! lol

Just got scheduled for May 18. I start the diet this Friday. I'm excited. Who else is getting banded in May??

Ok. Thanks for your input. I will have them all come and drive me home.

Yes. I had to do it, I think it was 536 questions to be exact. I also had to take two other short IQ tests, I guess to make sure I was able to follow the directions if the diet properly and understand what was involved. So the tests took

First off I'm so excited I found this forum. What a great thing and I'll be using it often, I'm sure.
I've been approved for surgery but I'm waiting for the center to call with the actual date. They said it'll be in the next 30 days because my lab work is only good for that long.
I'm excited but nervous. I can't wait to lose weight but since I use food as a reward for myself and it's such a big part of my social life I know I'll have a hard time. Does anyone else feel the same?
