Hi LongIslanders: I am in the Hamptons...Banded by Dr. Allam on 12/27/07. Had my first fill today. Best thing I ever did.

Hi Amber: I had so many last meals planned before my surgery but I was so nervous I could not eat a thing. I was begging the nurse in waiting area to take me off the table it was all fear. Only you can figure out what you are really afraid of. This is a process that you have to be committed to. Your head has to be ready for the change you are about to make. For me it has been a wonderful change does not mean it has not been hard and challanging at times but I am so happy that I stayed on the table and went through with the banding. I was banded a month ago and I have lost 20lbs. but better than that I have not had any surgar or bread and I feel so much better. The joke in my office is that now I am the first one in every morning instead of the last. Think of what your fears are before you make any decisions. It is normal to be scared.

Hi: Please do not read the stuff about throwing up and straving. I did lap band one month ago. I am not starving and I have not thrown up. If you read all the bad stuff you will make yourself crazy. You are either commited to the process or not. Once you are committed you will only read positive postings. Postings that will help you with the best results possible. This is the best thing I ever did for myself. The hardest part is making the commitment
