    alcohol/420

    Im not a huge drinker by any means. I have a drink about 3 times a month but what about those nights i still want to have a good time? Is getting drunk even a possibility with the band? Im 420 friendly. From what i understand things like drinking out of straws for example cause excess gas as well as smoking cigarettes. Id appreciate if readers completely ignored 'munchies' for this entire post. Aside from that and the obvious toxins caused by smoke...are there any thoughts on post op lap band and smoking weed? Has anyone actually asked their doctor/surgeon if there are any other risks? I still want to be able to live my life with moderation if it is necessary.
  2. I have been contemplating lap band for about 2 years. I'm 275 lbs and my bmi is 42. I never thought i was big enough to have this done but the numbers say otherwise. Diets have worked for me but only for a small amount of time before i was back to old habits. This is about control for me. I can't trust myself to make good decisions with food although i deeply care for myself so i thought lap band could be my tool. My insurance changed so now i kind of feel rushed into my surgery and im still really scared. I never wanted surgery to be the answer and im fighting with myself because i just cant make up my mind. I do not know what to do. Ive wanted a major loss my whole life and now that i have the option im running scared. I couldnt follow a diet before so how could i post op? Im 24. I feel like this is the answer but is it the answer for me?? Im ready for a change physically but i always wanted it to be natural. Do i just have cold feet? Someone please share some advice. Id love to meet some young banders. [ATTACH]27746[/ATTACH]
