    Funny story' date='

    I also woke up clear headed and with no pain at all. I didn't say anything but I remember thinking: who changed my robe and shaved me??? and why don't I have any underwear?? It was so embarrasing......[/quote']

    Lol pretty much this happened to me

    You can gain back all the weight after ANY weight loss surgery- the band' date=' bypass, or sleeve. That's exactly why they offer band over bypass now.

    I think it's great that the bypass patients have the option of band over bypass if they need it. I know singer Carnie Wilson recently had band over bypass, too.[/quote']

    Ohh I didn't know that at all. I just know that bypass is too serious of a surgery for me. I'm scared to get that. I'm really comfortable with Lap Band though

    I was at a meeting with a woman who lost 100 lbs with the bypass then gained it all back. she was looking into getting banded.

    Gaining the weight back with bypass? Is that possible? Can you get the lap band if you get the bypass? Her insurance must be paying out the A$$! Lol

    No no no I don't think it's ridiculous at all. And trust me I've had the thought as well before. You just have to realize the Band isn't gonna just make you lose the weight. Think about it this way the Band isn't the ONLY help your getting for your weight loss. You have the doctor that can help the nurses and support groups to answer any question you have. And you have this Lap Band Forum that has people just like you on it! It's not just getting skinny it's a whole weight loss experience. And trust me I wish I could lose weight on my own and eat healthy. But I love food so much it's shortening my life. It's all about seeking help when you need it. Don't get discouraged or doubt yourself. But don't not get the band and regret it years later :/

    DON'T DOUBT YOURSELF! The mental portion of weight loss is by far the hardest thing anything can go through. Don't you get tired of hearing everyone else's weight loss story? Doesn't it make you wish that the story could be your own? I know I did and that's why I'm having Lao Band. Just keep your head up and keep your mind in the right place! Youll be ok!

    What is the specific reason you have doubts?

    Hey guys my name is Jason, I'm 21 years old (turning 22 on Friday woot woot). And im getting banded august 20th. I start my liquid diet on The 13th and I'm just ready to get this thing over with so I can shed all of this excess weight. I've been overweight all my life and I've really had no problems because I've always been active. I always played sports and played football in high school (o-line baby!). But last year when I moved out all that changed, I got lazy and gained a lot of weight and it sucks. Tonight I am going to a lap band support meeting to learn what to do and what not to do after surgery and on the liquid diet. And I have to tell you I'm kinda nervous... I'm not nervous about the surgery but I'm scared to fail. I have deemed of being skinny for as long as I can remember and I want it so bad I can literally taste it. I've never been this scared before in my life. It's like I'm excited for the results but I'm scared about the process. It's a lifestyle change and I'm really nervous. Any tips? Any words of encouragement to help me out? I don't wanna sound like a pansy or anything but I am nervous :/
