3 months post op
well, today is my 3 months anniversary, the scale says today: 225 lbr (102 kgr) i lost 40 lbr (18 kgr) so far. from the 1st week i stopped snoring, i don't have reflux, i'm doing my works without feeling breathless, my clothes looking suggy but i do not buy any new yet. i had menstruation last month without meds! my face skin looking better. i should Celebrate today, but i can't, i'm not happy with my weight loss, i would be happy if i was at least (99 kgr) 218 lbr today, that was my goal ... i'm sooo sad my husband says that i do not eat enough, i try to keep RNY rules, using my band..i don't know what else to do to lose this weight that darken my soul something missing from my life and i can't understand whats this.. i wish i could find peace on me like so many of you.. _________________

Does band size matter?
i believe that the companies that producing the band have co-operation with the doctors, and economical dealings! i think also that they "sell" the band very expensive and the doctors take some extra money from the companies..

Operation in EUROPE !!!!
nahh after Olympics i don't think theres any other place more expensive than Athens lol now we pay the party :) as about the sceptre of the most FAT country in Europe i think Greece takes the gold medal lol the statistics says so my doctors name is Christos Sahpazidis ( ya ya i know its sounds very Greek he and his team have a site http://www.paxysarkia.gr/en/default.asp pahisarkia in greek means obesity. theres also one more dr team in University Hospital of Patras (Patra is another big city) that they do successful Band and RNY procedures but i didn't want to go to other city for a surgery. i met also 2 more band surgeons, i was sutissfied with all but i choosed Dr Sahpazidis because a friend of mine went to him also and plus my husband liked him as a surgeon ( my husband is urologist surgeon ).

Laparoscopic Band is a simple surgery with speedy recovery. as about rice, i know Chinese people eating rice instead of bread, me personally i can't tolerate it, i can't also torerate bread, pasta, and steaks. not big deal i think! you have wonderul cuisine in Singapore! some very yummy sweet-and-sour veggies for example..i think you wont miss the rice after band
