this all sounds depressing not banded yet you guys are scaring me.

i love bo but I think carrie is going to get it she has the popular vote either way they will both get contracts doesn't matter they bet the odds and they are both very talented individuals in regards to star quaility they bet out a 100,000 people how many people do that best of luck to both of them I know they will do well.

it's funny everyone has their point of view it can very hurtful, but I truly believe until you walk in someones shoes and live with whatever and truly then you can understand what they are going through unfortunately that might never happen. I feel people who have dealt with issues whether it be any kind of hardship are better people they are more empathetic towards other people with problems people are tough and we all need each other.

WHERE did you find that list

I haven't been banded yet either but have the same concerns I am scared to but you have to go thru it and hope for the best we don't succeed at things unless we try them and regret it later if we don't do it at all keep the faith you will succeed.

What do people usually eat for their proteins like what would be a typical days meal for someone that is on regular foods, and what does everyone use for food lubes.

What does DH stand for keep seeing it don't know what it means I know its a partner but what is the direct work for it. We need a thread on abbreviations used

Just was wondering why all of you here chose the band I am having the band june 9th but just wanted to know where everyone was coming from I chose the band because I heard awful stories on how people died from the rny and I really didn't want my insides rearranged. let me know your reasons?

Just wondering for the people how many lap bands have your doctors done mine has done approx 35 and I'm just scared he might not know what he is doing he seems nice but what is like a magic number to become qualified at it. scared

I am a nurse on a maternity floor love women's health and most of all all the newborn babies.

I don't I think I ever had a nice body my lower half was always rather large. I well say never felt comfortable in my body but looking back at pictures and thus I looked a heck of alot better than I do now and back then I thought I looked horrid silly how we never savor the moment

who can do a june schedule list

june 9th is my date yahooooooo

My doctor didn't give me a pre-op diet to follow they do suggest to lose weight however before surgery

Has anyone in massachusetts gone to umassmemorial worcester ma. to either Dr. John Kelly Dr. donald czerniach or Dr. perquini

Just wondering about the scars on your stomach post op or long term do you even see them after like one year. I had a c-section and the doctor said after a year how your scar is is how it will be forever it takes that long to heal just don't want it to be to noticebable.

Someone at work said the same thing to me in those same words my reply was the same NO that is the purpose of the band to lose weight and keep it off why would I put it in in the first place I think the less people that know the less you have to deal with comments I'm so sick of it.

haven't had surgery yet but, kind of scared of the post-op feeling. Is the feeling going to be unbearable or not so bad what is the worst thing that hurts you I'm really nervous.?????

They just ask your dieting history attempts, successes , failures , what triggers your eating ie. emotions, boredom, how long have you kept off weight, Has your weight prevented you from doing certain things. ie relations, social events, your general health, any medications, just a very thorough check mentally and physicallly.

Just a little worried having surgery on a thursday and my two daughters dance recital on on saturday do you think I will be able to go do the give you pain medication prescription after surgery? let me know

That is so funny about tanned fat is better than white fat I have a friend and we always said that at the beach we would lie on our stomachs so the back of our legs would tan your legs actually do look better tanned though

On the incision sites do the doctors use staples stitches or glue just wanted to know thanks

congratulations is in order you have worked hard and now you have your rewards great keep it up.

how soon after the initial band can you get a fill
