I also had a great deal of trouble losing the weight. It took me 8 months to lose the 15 pounds I was told to lose. After reading an article about how Wellbutrin can help with weightloss, I asked my Dr. if I could try it. I think it helped me very much. I am a stress eater too. I finally had surgery on 7-19-07! Good Luck, you can do it!

I was also banded on 7-19! I am still on liquids, hopefully will progress to mushies tomorrow after appt. with dietician. Last two days have had first real hunger. So helpful to read others posts here and know things are normal!

What a great idea. I was banded on Thurs. 7-19. I'm not hungry yet, so it's been hard to get everything in. Part of that is that I do not want to be nausuas, or vomit, so I'm taking it slow. My paperwork says no GUM. I'm not sure if it's just for now only or if it's forever. banded 7/19/07 Dr. Campbell Manchester NH

Hi Rachelle, I had my surgery on thurs. 7-19. It's normal to be nervous about going through surgery. I take a mild sedative before going to the dentist for anything, so as you can imagine the thought of surgery was quite frightening to me. I just kept telling myself that my surgeon has done many lapbands, and other than the IV insertion, I would be asleep for the rest of the procedure. I was surprised on the day of surgery that I was really not that nervous. I got a litter teary saying goodbye to my children, but I felt that there was no turning back now, and I did not want to turn back I wanted to go for it. Good luck and I know you will be fine.
