Big Silly

So congratulations to the 2 of you with dates! I attended a seminar last Thursday night up in Rockville with Dr. Barry Green. I am left with a lot of questions even asking several myself. I had no idea that forever you will only be able to sip liquid in 1 ounce increments every couple minutes nor that you will have to cut your food up into almost infant like size and take a bite every couple minutes as well. Are these extreme directives or will it vary from person to person? Why do we choose lapband over bypass? As odd as this sounds I think I might be more confused than I was thursday morning. And chimboree, maybe we will meet sometime!

I am predisposed to flipping out over stuff like this, is this typical.. <--- that would be aimed at the old pros...

Thanks for the welcomes and responses. I have so many questions, but I know how forums work. I'm sure all of my questions have been asked and answered a zillion times. I'll do some searches before I go all "hog" wild on the questions...:confused:

Leonardtown... Howdy neighbor!

But close... St. Mary's County here...

Hi, I am a 40 year old male 5 foot 8 inches, currently tipping at 320.. I have tried tons of diets, and I have even went as far as hire a personal trainer. None of which have seemed to pay off... I have a 7 year old son, that I have a hard time keeping up with. I am also developing health problems due to the weight. I am hypertensive and I have sleep apnea.. Next Wednesday I will be attending a lap band seminar. Hopefully, this is for me. I am excited at the possibility of shedding the extra me that I have grown over the last 15 years... I just wanted to say howdy...
