boy ohhh boy i feel ya here. I hardly eat anything im at 7cc's out of a 10 cc band and hardly eat i puke alot. I exercise and still lost only 35-40lbs. It's DAMN frustrating :thumbup:

I feel you. I wanted this SOOOOOOOOo bad in the beginning. but now I'm depressed. I have 6 CC's in a 10 CC band. No restriction what so ever. I have only lost 10 lbs. I got my band April 16th. :cursing: this is horrible. Any suggestions. comments.

haha yeah the gas is kicking my butt right now it hurts so bad

well I finaly got it done. yesterday, April 16th 2009 im pretty dang soar too. the gas in my stomach is very uncomfortable and the stuff they gave me for pain really doesnt work that well but im trying hard to not let that bring me down. I hope everyone is doing well and i hope all of you that want to be banded get it. the pain is minimal compared to what i heard gastric was. thank you to all of you for help and support and im still going to need it when times get tough <3 i am happy i finally got it done after a year of waiting and going through all the steps. I just cant wait untill the gas passes its a horrible feeling lol:thumbdown: and yeah im happy i got it at 18.

thats awesome i hope you do well! =D keep in touch!

So i FIANLLY got my date after many months of feet dragging, fustrations, and appointments. And my surgion trying to say i was too young for this and should reconsider (im 18) :thumbdown: My date is April 16th! I am SUPER excited yet scared i have no idea what to expect! I know someone that just got gastric bypass yesterday and we were texting and she told me that the only pain after was waking up and it was the worst pain she ever felt. I dont know about you but im not a big one for pain lol:blink: I am also worried about how eating is going to be because i have been practicing what they say sloww eating and little amounts but that will never be the same as when you get it. So to all you already banded people can you give me advice things to ease up the tension anything happen to you that i should stay away from or work on things that are hard? just some insight would be great! Thank you! :seeya:

i feel the sameee! bein called the bigger girl always when being described...having friends that talk about other big girls that are actually smaller than me....the salad thing yeaa i have that happen at school alot they look at me like i shouldnt be eating that....deffinalty understand the stuff falling down my shirt =/ and also swimming fully clothed that and always wearing sweatshirts and pants even in the summer...i cant waittt to finally be happy with what i look like and not have the problems!:thumbup:

well i need some inspiration and help from anyone and everyone. Im having the hardest time losing weight for this surgery. I'm pretty much done everything the hospital needed me to do except lose the 13 lbs im trying desperatly but i cant seem to commit and its very discouraging. :cursing: I want this so bad but its just so hard. anyone have any weightloss suggestioins? anything that people have tried that really did work? anyone else in my position? has anyone taken diet pills to help?any excersise program you have done thats fun and little money? If i could lose this weight ide be ok but its very hard. so any help would be nice thanks everyone

Just wondering if there are any New Hampshire banders that are going to CMC?

I dont have any other problems actually but from what i was told by where im going from the info seminar you either have to be 30-40 BMI with problems or 40- and above with things or nothing else wrong I have nothing else but im at a 45 BMI so i know i can get it with just my BMI. so if i have nothing else wrong then what she said was fine do you think?

well hello there fellow 17 year old!!!! thank god im not the only one :tt2: although my moms insurance covers me I looked at your other comments on this thread and noticed you are the same age and weight as me. It sure sucks being in school and having to go through this :thumbup: Im just starting my procedure of all the group visits, going to get bloodwork, doctor visits, and all that fun stuff :thumbs_down: just sucks to have to wait so long! i was hoping i would have it before going back to school lol well anyway im always on here and willing to talk and meet new people!

ok so i went to my doctors today to get my BMI and a referral but my doctor had no idea what to do for the referral I didnt know what it needed to say either :thumbup: so she put that she supports my decision :confused2: but i dont know if thats what they need my doctor was also rushing me because she was running late today so i had no time to ask her what i wanted. but anyway i was wondering what anyone needed on a refferal? did she say the right thing? or is there more too it? i gotta say that doing this young has its hardtimes it is quite confusing all these steps i went to the info seminar last night and i was the youngest there but it is worth all the frustration in the end just hard to get out of these ruts :thumbs_down:

does it really hurt that bad???? >.> kind of discouraging thought lol :thumbup:

thanks so much! do you know some cost range? Im trying to get things organized and maybe buy that stuff a little early so i can have it because money is tight for us (thank god my moms insurance pays for this) and having to have seprate meals when it comes time means my mom has to buy me my own seprate stuff. Thanks again!

Just wondering any one buy stuff to make Protein shakes or anyone buy multi Vitamins? Just a thought before i do buy it if its needed or no one uses it. THANKS =D
