  1. Biotin is a water-soluble vitamin. Whatever water-soluble vitamins are not used by the body are eliminated in urine.
  2. Good luck to you! It is not an easy decision and you need full support to go ahead with. At least that is how I feel. I am not banded yet but decided to get it in October, and I have my family's support and my BF came around too. First he was like your BF but now he understands my point. We had long talks and he objected but I saw him secretly researching the surgery. And he changed his mind and now he is all for it. I don't think you can make him change his mind, he has to do the "work". And if he loves you and he wants you to be healthy he will do just that. Give him time, be patient, and hopefully he will settle down. You have a family together a life together, you just don't bail out when things go wrong. You try to fix the problems first, right? Chin up, be happy about your decision, and your happiness will be contagious:)))
  3. I'm in the same position as you are. I know I could lose the weight or at least some, I did it before, but honestly, I am tired. Tired of doing it again and gaining it all back. For some the lap band might seem like a "lazy" solution. My boyfriend is telling me that he doesn't understand why I just would not stick with a diet and a workout, and he will put a plan together for me, but he doesn't understand the frustration I feel. I've been there done that hundred times and this was it. My knees hurts, my fat rolls out of my jeans, nothing fits nice, I'm out of breath after 20 minutes of walk, and I want this to be over for good. Lately my boyfriend came around the idea qnd started to support me, so does my family, so the decision is really been made in my mind, it is only matter of months before I'll have my band.
  4. I am in Hungary, Europe (I'm not sure if you are willing to travel that far though:))), self pay, $2100, best doctor in a beautiful hospital, 2 years fills included. I'm planning to have my surgery in October or January. Good luck to everybody!
  5. I have just decided to have my lap band surgery, and recently started my "investigation" about the subject. I am located in Europe so I am not sure if you are willing to travel that far but here is what I'm gonna do and the cost. The lap band surgery self pay in Hugary cost about $2100, 2 years fills included. I am talking about the best doctor in a state of the art hospital. I am from Hungary but I live in the UK, so I will get my fills in the UK, lots of doctors to choose from and the cost is 60-80 pounds (non X-Ray) or 150 (with X-ray).
