Karely -- thanks for your honesty. I too am an emotional eater. The band doesn't help that, but I knew that going in, but had the surgery anyway. I don't regret it, but it's a constant struggle. My prayers are with your sister.

I understand how you feel. I was banded in 11/07 and have only lost between 25-30 pounds. I have a hard time listening to everyone elses success stories. I'm embarrased to go back to my doctor too. He suggested I go to Weight Watchers or Lindora. I figured if I could do that, I wouldn't have had the surgery. It's definitely not a cure for me. I'm gonna bite the bullet and go back for a fill next week along with joining weight watchers. You are not alone!!!

Im on clear liquids for about 9 days and going nuts. The acid is killing me no matter what I drink. :rolleyes

I'm having my surgery on Monday too. I know how you feel. I wanted to run after I read and signed the consent form and had to take a quiz to see if I understand what I am about to do. I feel better now that I have spoken to one of my doctor's patients. Good luck. Keep me posted. Milbear
