<p> </p> <p>Mine was 36 when i had my surgery after my pre-op diet. and i started out at 232 and im down to 200 today!</p>Oh and my co-morbidities were one kidney, family history of kidney desease, family history of diabetes, vericose veins.

Let me rephrase. Can you feel your band with your hand from the outside like I can?

I seem to be able to feel my band through my skin under my ribcage can anyone else?

Heating pad or corn bag is helping me with the pain and walk the sound is probably gas and you need to walk it out.

Amen sista!! Throw me around like a ragdoll! Got banded today, cant wait for the bedroom scene this can create!!

Anyone going for surgery , check and see if they have wireless internet.Mine does so i got to talk to all of you on my laptop.:whoo:

It is done and im feeling great!Cant wait to go home and start my new life!

IUm 5'4 1/2 started at 232 size 18 now 210 size 14 to 16 depending on style .surgery 2 days!! woohoo!!

I agree with you for teenagers. Im not telling mine right away. I dont want them to think i took the easy way out but rather have them know by watching me eat differently. I just think maybe they will follow suit that way and not create hysteria.

TY yes i knew they didnt touch it but i was worried about the nutrition. and 1/2 my family died of kidney disease.

I was born with one kidney so i was worried about the after affects of the lap-band. Anyone else have this problem?
