I'm getting banded (actually BOB) on Monday and can tell right now that I'm going to need some people to run stuff by. My Dr office has groups, but since I haven't been to any yet, can't say yay or nay..

I feel your pain Newbie - I'm 2 weeks out and have been fighting a horrific fungal skin infection and allergic skin reaction to the adhesives, so compliance has been the last thing on my mind. I'm not terribly moody, but I keep sneaking an extra Protein shake here and there. I'm so uncomfortable with my skin constantly itching and burning that it's almost too much to bear if I get hungry as well. I hope I don't slip my band before my first fill!
The other part of my mental dilemna is that I am a band over bypass patient and I was kinda expecting to have a quick 10-20 just melt off like it did after my RNY. NOT the case thus far, which I know I need to get over it right away.
I'm hoping that once all of the skin meds start working that I can really focus on my Phase 2 (soft foods) compliance and start exercising and just move forward from all of the pre-conceived notions I had what having a LapBand really means.
