Nice congratssssss mines is tomorrow , getting the lap band, good luck

oh ok thank you , @dancingfool

For the LB do they keep you in hospital after surgery ? I'm still waiting on my call from NYU with the time and information for tomorrow surgery ...tick tock tick tock

oh I didn't know you can have a lap band and then change to a sleeve ? please advise

in a situation when you feel something is stuck how do you remove that feeling right away? do you wait on it or drink water asap? because I cant imagine feeling like something is chocking me specially food.. how do we solve this feeling when we know we ate to fast and is not going down properly? is scary to think about it

@@Bandista which Caribbean food you enjoy now? oh yes def cheaper dates lol . Thank you much . True story, well just see and wait with me, I have a close bound with my friends is just me assuming , since I like my caribbean food a whole lotJerk chicken is a good source of Protein.... And beans! I can't/don't eat rice now but enjoy Caribbean food -- to answe your question above about doggy npnags, etc., we eat out a lot and usually I just order small and let my family help me. Cheaper date now for sure. Good luck with all -- you're going to do great. I have all my same friends, by the way.

Is it ok for the band to get tighter when traveling? which means less food intake? because im always traveling , lord help me lol

how do you handle them now?

@@PayItForward thanks for your reply, yes I thought about it but I really didn't want a fast dramatic weight loss in my life, that's why I didn't go for it . but sometimes I do think about it tho

How will be getting notifications?

@@Djmohr exactly , thats my concern as well , but my friends are all different sizes so well see how will they react once after my lapland and i start to loose weight. I don't think they will have a problem with it...i think....lol , the fact that i won't be able to eat as before and as much. I wonder after surgery how do people go out to dinner, do you guys always take a doggy bag after with the left overs or do you share food with whoever ???? just curious

I never told anyone other than immediate family.... I go out with my friends, people from work all the time...while they are devouring greasy burgers, etc, I am very picky about what I eat, and go for the healthiest choices I can. Plus I eat like a bird. If the menu has nothing but junk like a lot of chains do, then I eat nothing...and I will tell the people I'm with why the menu is not good......I also stopped eating meat after lap band surgery. And I am one who would eat an entire large pizza at a sitting...now I wouldn't (couldn't) touch it... You will be surprised at the respect you will get from people...you will be one of the unique ones..admired for taking control of your life, being health conscious, more active with a exercise routine, looking at life from a different angle. And, when the weight starts to come off, it only multiplies. The lap band forced me to change my lifestyle, but no one needs to know that...I am after all the one getting educated and making the healthy choices. As far as alcohol, well that's a hot topic around here....listen to your Dr. thank you for your input @@B-52 , be alert I'm brand new to this world ,also i live a very private social life when it comes to me going out to dinner or drinks, is not like i dine until a point that i can't breath , is just that most of my friends on days off , meet for dinner or drinks, and since only a few chosen one are alert of my decision for surgery , so is going to be a bit hard to deal with, questions... also I'm always traveling, staying in all-inclusive resorts, unlimited food and drinks so , I'm just curious how would handle it. #dontjudgeme , i can't wait for this adventure . surgery in 2 days .

i think it was mines, but i haven't check my responses. unless someone else said they need new friends besides me .

why gas pain in the shoulder?

so my surgery is in 2 days , I'm a bit excited and nervous at the same time, I've been in a liquid pre surgery diet for 13 days and i have lost 10lbs, i will like to know if after the surgery how longer do i have to be in liquid diet and so i still drink the same I've been drinking? Water, Protein shakes, diet snapple, tea, ? i can be contact at yaji7828@yahoo.com for info or support .

but why? omg is a scary thing, my surgery is in 2 days and i def don't want to loose any of my long hair .

I'm having surgery in 3 days , but i think i may need new friends to go out to dinner or hang out because i doubt any of my friends will understand my new eating habit, not like i suffer from any eating disorder but we typically go out to dine a lot or for drinks. some friends are not alert of my surgery because i decided to keep it private from some of them.

hello all, i just join this site today. i already went through all my steps pre op before my lap band, kind of excited and scare about it, since i never thought i will had ever will get this type of surgery in my life , but..... i need it and want it. now i can't wait for results. i don't know what to expect after , all this drinking liquids getting me bored ,lol but i have lost 12lbs so far -from 256 now 244 just on liquid diet pre op before surgery . my main concern is when i go on vacation how will my eating and drinking will be handle? I'm alert that my i will be eating less and drinking less , but i don't mind , as long as my mind tells me that i already buzz and full. after how long do i have to wait until i will eat real food not just liquid or puree food?
