  1. I have lost 105 pounds it sound like your too tight. Sometimesyou find yourself eating easier food but it may be higher in calories. I lost 100 pounds in 10 months. Its possible.
  2. I really dont think so, in fact I had to give urine in pre-op to make sure I was not pregnant about an hour before surgery.
  3. I have the realize band, I was banded a year ago, Ilost 100 pounds in 10 months. I dont know the diference, but it worked for me.
  4. My date is February 8, and as of 2 weeks ago I lost 100 pounds!!!!!
  5. Congrats, I got my surgery February 2008, Best decision I ever made.
  6. My mom had her gastric done there. I live in Delaware so I went to CHRIAS
  7. I have the nuva ring never had to stop it, wore it during surgery too.
  8. I would stop when I felt satisfied with it. I am down to 160 pounds and every one at work is always trying 2 feed me.
  9. Give it a few days and youtart to fweel better. If your in pain you will not start moving around.
  10. I hate to say it But I was at 37 bmi too, and yes I did gain weight for my surgery. About 20 pounds, extra clothes and stuff works too
  11. I am now taking phentermine, to curb my cravings, with the band. Sure the band controls food portions, but I am a junk food junkie and was always craving sweets. It has really helped with my sweets addiction bcause I just dont want it now. Im not saying its for everybody, but even with the lap band I still was finding it hard
  12. Eat low carb, you will lose weight so much faster. I know a person who eats smaller amounts of food, but not low carb and shes losing very slow. Low carb is difficult for some people, just modify it for yourself.
  13. I only eat a can eat a small amount of spaghetti, it fills me up very quickly. Like 2 or 3 forkfulls. I love baked mac n cheese, so I really miss eating alot of that.
  14. It is comforting to have someone with you when you wake up. But I wanted my lapband so bad that I wasn't worried about who was there. The anesthesia makes you really groggy after surgery, so that you are sleeping. You will probaly need for someone to pick you up though. Waiting to june is so long away, you could lose like 70 pounds by then. If it was me I would just go.
  15. I heard about it before, its talked about in the atkins book. Its only supposed to be used for like 2 or 3 days. I dont know all what you can eat so ckeck the book.
