Things that irriate me well.....I have one friend who wanted to get the lap band but her insurance would not cover it, so she is going to have the gastric bypass. I see her almost daily, and she has never said I look like I lost weight. Well there was one time she did say I do notice alittle bit in your face. (I have lost 101 lbs.) At christmas time she kept offering me homemade candies, pies....I declined all of them . She also makes comments like well at least I will be able to lose weight faster than you and she says I'll probably lose all mine before you get done losing yours. I say to her.... keep taking your vitiams, and get to the bathroom soon..... I try not to talk about my surgery or weight loss with her anymore I don't need someone who is not supportive in my life.

Hi there I was wonder if having to burp for hours after eating is common? Does this mean something? eating too much too fast?? I have noticed it more after my last fill. I would welcome any comments or suggestions. Thank you Sue

Hi all I want to introduce myself. I am Sue and live in Maine. I was banded on July 27, 2004 in Augusta by Dr. Morand. This was an easy choice after I did all the research on the band vs. gastric. I knew when I read the facts the lap band was the safest choice. I started out at 351 lbs. and as of today I am down to 265 lbs. I am very happy about the weight loss I've had so far!! I have alot more to go, but I need to remember one day at a time. Thanks for all the suggestions I've read so far Sue 351 at surgery 265 12/29/04 down 86 lbs
