    I chose the band because it's reversible and I love hard work.

    AussieSam got a reaction from Swampdoggie in A funny story   
    Hey all wanted to share this funny story with you all.
    Today I was at the gym and ten minutes into my workout I got extreme gas you know the silent but violent type. Anyway I started landing them left right and centre and the smell was really bad. So bad that everybody in the gym was blocking there nose and blaming the other person I was just smiling and minding my own business. The owner of the gym was next to me on the treadmill and I started complaining to him about the bad smell. He said to me that they are stink bombs found in a tree and when you stepped on them they let out a bad smell so I went along with him. So what would you do if you were there in the gym at that time?

    AussieSam got a reaction from CeeTee13 in Why the Band and not sleeve?   
    Hi
    I chose the band against the sleeve because to me I didn't want to lose it overnight but over a period of time. Also I know many sleepers who stretched their sleeve over the years and put the weight back on. With the band you have that adjustable fill that can put you back on track. But most of all I didn't want anything cut out of me.

    AussieSam got a reaction from ProudGrammy in Maybe I am atypical, but the sleeve didn't help with hunger   
    Some things you can do to get rid of hunger include drinking lots of Water, exercising, taking Vitamins every morning and understanding that weight loss surgery no matter what type is a tool and no magic wand. Also check to see if it's head hunger.

    AussieSam reacted to KateP in Been there   
    Had mine for nine years. All good. Am in touch with just over 50 people (not online, in real life); two have had bands removed, one because she deliberately kept it too tight. Rest doing ok.
    Two friends have sleeves and have had an appalling time. One friend has RNY and nearly died.
    Horror stories? Yes. Happens to everyone? No!

    I know the feeling Tri having a teaspoon of extra virgin olive oil before a meal it will help the food slide easier and eat slower.

    Weight loss doesn't occur on a daily basis and you won't get to your ideal weight overnight. Patience is the name of the game and it's a lifetime thing. So my advice to you would be don't weigh yourself too much exercise more sip Water all day long if possible and enjoy the journey.

    So far my first day doing it and my body feels fantastic I havnt felt this good since surgery 6 years ago. Also I feel like I had 4000 calories when I only had 1200. Also I trained like a monster at the gym. This oil is the bomb.

    It's probably just a reaction from the body after having part of it taken out but it should pass in a few days.

    The best way to success with your weight loss is not to deprive yourself. When you stop eating everything you love then you run the risk of failure as a person can only hold their breath under Water for so long.

    I was put on one of those liver shrinking diets I had to have yogurt only for three days. Don't be nervous lap band surgery is the easiest out of all the major surgeries no cutting of your insides.
