I just shave. Personal & no pain!

I got one of those things, but I didn't need it to tell me I have awesomely strong lungs. PS I think the bad coughing thing was just the pot I was smoking.

Welcome Shelsey!

Damn! Haha, I wish I had some before & after pictures... but I haven't even really gotten far enough for that yet. But yeah, I'm from Texas.

Wow! You're looking amazing.

Haha, get 'em Candle! I don't think I'm going to have any troubles with me smoking with my band. Anywho...

Thats awesome, Mark. Glad to see you here.

I don't get the munchies very bad. & its sad to say, that wouldn't be a good enough reason for me to stop. Haha.

Sometimes I cough so hard I wretch. No good, right?

Definitely a LOVE/HATE relationship. Mainly love though. It's just annoying when I go to eat something & end up throwing up.

I smoked marijuana the first day I got home. It helped with the pain. But I do smoke recreationally now. I was also wondering if like, coughing would fuck up the band?

Welcome! I'm four weeks banded & I've been very happy with it. The whole process went pretty fast for me. It was two weeks to surgery once my doctor got the approval letter & it took me about a week to recover enough to go back to work. I think your doctor would be best suited to tell you how much you'd be expected to lose.

Well, I'm glad you're here. Talking to my sisters about eating with the band is starting to really get to me.

I like to weight myself only if I feel like I have lost some weight.

I think maybe your daughters will see you losing weight & be inspired to do the same. My sister & I both weigh about the same, but she isn't getting banded because of insurance issues. She's told me that she has noticed a difference in her eating habits & I've noticed her losing a little weight. My parents would have wanted me to get banded when I was like 11 or 12 if I was able to. I actually went in for my first consult a year before I got banded.

It took me about 3-5 days to get insurance to approve & then they gave me like two weeks to get all my other shit in order. I went in for my consult December 15 & had the surgery on December 26th.

Thanks for posting these. I wish 90s music would make a comeback...

That is really cute!

I am so sorry. That is straight fucked up.

I dyed my hair maybe 6-7 days after I got banded. I don't think it would be that bad...

So, where are you guys from? I'm in north Texas.

I'm sure you'll be able to pull it off Ash. I really want to get a treadmill but we don't have the money or space... so I've just been walking outside. I feel like I'd get more done on the treadmill because it is very cold outside!

You've already lost 21lbs?! My weight keeps shifting from 270 - 274 & it is driving me crazy!

December 26th

I'm 18 & I got banded December 26th. I'd love to talk sometime.
