I don't get banded until Nov. but have wondered it the diet of more liquids and softer foods would affect my teeth. I would like to hear other experiences with dental care also. Would it be a good idea to rinse your mouth after each meal?

I contemplated whether or not to tell people (co-workers, etc) that I was planning to have LapBand. In the end I decided to tell them. I figure that the people who are going to judge me because of LapBand, are already judging me because I'm fat.

I haven't been banded yet, just completed all requirements, waiting to get surgery date. My husband and I talked about the band a few times before I finally made the leap and pursued it. Each time I said, noooo, I can do it myself. I would go on a diet, lose 15 or 20 lbs, only to gain it back within a short time. Can't tell you how many times I lost and gained that same 20 lbs over the past 10 years! And I need to lose 120! I was recently getting cold feet over the band, but am back on track! Yeah! I have done tons of research on lap band and think it will be life changing and very challenging. But I know from my past behavior with food, this is what I need. Only you know what the right thing is for you. Take your time with the decision if you're not sure.
