B-52 wow did you say it all! It's a tool installed that hasn't been activated yet! Now I understand. I did research this for 2 years! I wanted to do this first to support daughter who is getting it in jan. I honestly did not understand that it could take 6 months. at least now I can guide her better when in her first months. But I don't want to be obsessed with weighing and measuring . That's what I did in the past. That's not what I thought I had to do.

I am 6 weeks post op feeling no restriction. Why did I get this surgery when everyone on this forum talks about losing all this weight without fills. Most of you are saying its not the band. Then why would you or I have gotten it to just be on a diet. I can diet without band. I am regretting my decision

Ok just heard Sharon Osborne on Howard stern this min. Said she had lapband lost 100 lbs. had it taken out because she thought it was unhealthy . Gained 30 lost it on Atkins . Spokes person for Atkins .

Star had gastric bypass so did rose ann

thanks...I couldn't recall the name I sure wish someone would pay for me to talk about the band.... I think I am just as believable as celebrities are.

My surgeon said he doesn't do plication.

I just came back from a support meeting and everyone made me feel uncomfortable for getting the band most of them were bypass. I am in my third week and am still in the healing process not losing process. They were saying things like it so much easier and quicker. Really felt weird not being supported

Yes! I am 188 and 5'1"" BMI of 35 I actually had to gain 8 lbs to reach 35BMI. I am scheduled for OCT. 2011 surg. Target weight 125. I lost 5% of my body weight as mandated and now am 175. I see this as an excellent tool to maintain a proper weight. And yes I love my beer. Its carbonation thats the problem. You may want to try rum and a mixer. Some people will flatten their beer. Remember you will feel the effects easy due to very little food in stomach and liq. pass right through.

Need to get my motivation back. I did extremely low carb for 8 days, then went to a BBQ. Big mistake. Drank margaritas and it was all over. Haven't been able to get back on track for 5 days, bingeing on carbs, very discouraged. I'm hungry all the time again (blood sugar, I know) but can't even stomach anything low carb. Any ideas how to get back to where I was? (I'm pre-op)

feel your band or your port ?? since day three poat op ive been able tk feel my port,, but on both sides there are hard spots that i thought may have been my port and freaked me out,, but now 3 weeks post op most of those "port" possible spots havw gone down and i cant feel my real port lol

I am being banded tomorr. Very nervous! I was just wondering, does everyone need to get plastic surgery? Is there instances where the skin won't sag

My husband liked it so much I made it again last night and added mushrooms.
