I had an open book policy as far as my WLS goes and funny enough my "slimmer" friends and co-workers were all like AWESOME! CONGRADS! Whereas my "plus" friends were like - "why would you do that?" "that it too dangerous" - strange, are your friends plus sized themselves?

Same as the fellow posters - I haven't given anything up. I do miss soda not because of taste but because of the convenience

forums are the same the world over regardless of the particular interest. funny to watch the established members rally around their own. would have been way too hard to say." hey sorry for the misunderstanding, stick around for awhile".

Its to be expected. Lapband is unknown for some people and people fear the unknown and changes. Some will Celebrate, some will condemn. As is life.

Once there was a young man -
whose eating was getting out of hand -
He ate all day -
and some will say -
he needed to get the lap band
---------------------------------------
He didnt listen to the talk
even though he couldnt walk
he stuffed his face
with ice cream and cake
and still ignored the lapband
---------------------------------------
Then came the day
His kids wanted to play
He tried to get up and run
but after 5 minutes he was done!
he decided to get the lap band
------------------------------------
A few years down the road
He doesnt carry such a load
give him a hand!
he got to wONEderland
all because of the lap band

Purpose?
1) I was wondering why you signed on to this site?
To keep an eye out for those who I have made friends with and chat.
Also to read anything that sticks out in forums to see if I can learn from it or help someone else
2) Why are you still here after a year?
Is hasnt been a year and thus the rest of the questions are not valid for me to reply to

Even following all my doctors orders I also had an infection in my port incision that lasted 2 months until it finally healed. It took 3 antibiotics for it to clear. It happens, you just got to accept it and deal with it. Even it hurts like hell. In time it will get better. Just make sure to take your antibiotics everyday because if the infection reaches your port it will have to be removed (according to my doctor). I am allergic to adhesive so on top of my infection my stomach was angry and red from the Tegaderm and paper tape

I had an open book policy as far as my WLS goes and funny enough my "slimmer" friends and co-workers were all like AWESOME! CONGRADS! Whereas my "plus" friends were like - "why would you do that?" "that it too dangerous" - strange, are your friends plus sized themselves?

haha 40 pounds a month is VERY unrealisitic. Try 5-8 pounds a month in the "green zone". Please remember there is a large percentage of the lapband community that 1)does not post or 2) doesnt even go on this site!!! My doc has performs 100's of surgerys and only 10 of those are registered on this site. I have had 1 fill and I am at 7.6cc and still not where I should be restriction wise. Dont compare and stay off the scale - look for non scale victories like fitting into an old pair of jeans, climbing the steps without loosing breathe. You will mentally destroy yourself if you KEEP checking the scale. And if you still arent losing then reevaluate your food and exercise.
