So I have never blogged before so I thought this would be a good way to express myself and in the coming months look to see how far I have come not just in loosing weight but also in my growth of knowlegde and acceptance of all stages I will be going through. So surgery was Oct 29th had a rough first night I did get a little too much morphine and was a little snowed, had horrible nausea and I was so scared to vomit however a lot of big burps came up. I did go back to my hotel room the next day and flew out on day 2 post op. Now Im on day 3 having a hard time getting liquids in and of the rolls of gas pain......I wish they would go away. So on word and upward I am going to walk walk walk and sip sip sip.......

I did the optifast program that where I drank 3- shakes a day nothing in between drank lots of water and I lost hair then also. The hair does grow back.(unfortuntaly the 60lbs I lost in 3 months did too thats why I am thinking of lapband)

I get where your coming from I was talking to my husband about it and he said it seems quite drastic and I said so is being 120lbs overweight and being in the morbid obese catagory!!!

I am trying decide on the lap band and have been in contact with cibo clinic in Toronto. Has anyone had theres done with them? how was the experience?

I am in the same state of mind as you, I want to get a lap band but I have such a fear. what if it doesnt work but what if I dont do something..... I keep loosing then gaining more I am 5'8"280lbs. I remeber being 190 lbs and thinking I gotta loose that is my goal weight now ugh Your so right make a choice and committ to the changes!!

Im in Alberta too, This is what I've been doing, what is the difference now?and when you dieted before? Do you have all your weight you want to loose? Im looking at an appointment for August or september I wish I could make my mind up and do it the next day

I Think its the fear of the unknown what if I fail at this too.... Where in Canada did you get yours done?

Hi Im from Canada, I have been lurking around the boards trying to make a decision to get a lap band. I have been on numorous diets lost 60lbs gained etc. I am so tired of YOYOing. I am currently at a 42% BMI. When I think of surgery I think its such a drastic measure then I look at my health currently and think that is quite drastic too......stilll deciding.......
