I met a woman that was banded out of the country 3 years ago and she had hers removed. I am not wanting mine removed unless there are complications later on. This is a good question for the Dr.

I was banded 9/8/05 and it seems to have taken my appetite away at least for know anyway.

09/08/05 here banded in Dallas, Texas and have lost 9.5 pounds:)

My doctor did the seminar on both and provided pros and cons as well. I never wanted GB. I wanted lap band because it was reversible and less traumatic as far a scars, surgery and recovery. I had my surgery on Thursday 9/8 and today is 9/14 I have lost 6 pounds. I have been walking everyday 20-30 min. I will start lifting hand weights tomorrow 3 pounds. I am just a little soar around the port. With GB I probably would have never been up and running that fast. Plus if you have GB you have to really extremely excercise because the weight comes off sooooooooo fast and you dont want to be small but look old, saggy and bad.

Sorry for your loss. I lost my mother in 2000 unexpectedly. Losing your mother is one of the worst feelings you could ever experience. Only God and time can take the pain away. Pray and believe.

I just had surgery 9/8 in Texas and the dietician suggested soy milk or skim milk. My girlfriend had some soy milk and I tasted it and actually love it. As a matter of fact I am drinking it right now with my protein drink. I hate skim milk and the soy milk is great especially when I blend it up it taste like a milk shake. I have Silk soy milk enhanced.

Amy I was banded on 9/08/05 and I weighed in at 240 but left at 245. Whatever, they put in me blew me up 5 pounds. Stay focused and remember it does take time. Good luck!!

All, please provide me with any suggestions of soups to eat. Tomorrow starts my full liquid and it states Healthy choice soups. Does anyone eat baby food like rice? Does anyone have indigestion?

Thanks so much, I really appreciated this.

Banded on 9/8/05. I can not eat my 2 oz. Is this unusual? Still a little soar around the port. I am very excited.

I believe if your daughter is 8 she is on E team. My daughter is on C team Hornets and Saturday my daughter plays at 1 something and I am looking at the schedule and it shows E team plays at 4:45 Paschall. I would love to me you and let you know how I am feeling 2 days after surgery. I hope I am feeling well enough to attend the game, I love drill. The Gators were really great last year. I really like this website.

I am approved also for 9/8 Dr. Hamn. I am soooooooo excited and soooooooo scared. I see your daughter is in drill and so is mine in Mesquite. I have been walking while she practices 4 days a week. I started to today on a liquid diet replacement for 1 meal. Good luck and may God Bless You.
