God does work in mysterious ways. I, too, was banded Dec 19 2007 and have lost around 25 pounds. I was committed and motivated to lose the weight. I was unprepared for an old eating disorder addiction in my past that I thought I had put to rest years ago. I have 7.5 ccs in my band and this week I looked to my higher power to help me use this tool the way it is to be used and quit the binging that has brought me to this weight that I want to lose. It is embarrassing and yet I feel a relief to actually be posting on a web with others who are truthful about their struggles and others wanting to help those of us who are the struggling. Thanks to lapbandtalk for sending me a reminder that even though I may not be as successful as I may want to be, but there is still a place where I can be honest and receive support.

I, too, am on my 10 day diet. I haven't lost any weight and am worried that once the band is on it won't be any different. Also, the liquid part of the diet is nasty and I would almost rather do without than drink it. I cannot get the lumps out. Any suggestions?

I was wondering if anyone has used Dr Keith in Norman and what your thoughts were. I am scheduled for my surgical consult next Friday and am excited.

Hi! I am new to the site. I have my consult the 17th of August. I still haven't decided between lap and gastric. My insurance will pay for either. How do you guys decide?:huytsao
