KristeyK got a reaction from mylynn1377 in Weight watchers and the Band I cannot believe this!!!!
I didn't get that from her. I got that she wanted to vent about the nasty comments she got. Is she supposed to do that there? Message boards will make you out to be a pariah if you do something like that. KWIM?

KristeyK got a reaction from JACKIEO85 in Interesting Article About the Band and Failure Rates
Oddly enough, I didn't post it for those of you having no issues. I did it so that...
1) Those of us having a laundry list of complications know that we're not insane.
2) People that are considering this surgery know more than the "rah, rah, rah" stories.
As with any surgery, there are complications...they should be more easily found than what they are. And what are the chances of success 5 years down the road, 10 years, 15 years??? Those who ARE having success need to know that once they reach goal and maintain for a couple years, they can't let their guard down. It's FOREVER and these numbers prove it.

KristeyK got a reaction from twinmommie in Compare the pain to a C section
I agree 100%, this is NOWHERE NEAR as bad as a c/s was on me. I'm a whimp about pain so you can take my word for it. lol. I was just banded on Wednesday and haven't taken any pain meds for two days now, and even then on Saturday I only took a teaspoon of the vicodin twice, Friday I also only took it twice.

KristeyK got a reaction from beanbean in Doubts?? Nerves?? Help!!!
I can give you a tip for when y'all go out and want to blend in...
For about a year in college I went through a "zero drinking" phase. (Too bad that didn't last!) Anyway, I used to order Water with a slice of lemon in it and asked them to put it in a cocktail glass. (Back then it was because everyone would bug me to get a drink. UGH!) It'd help you feel more like you're blending into the crowd. As for when you're going to dinner, just order some grilled chicken or fish and veggies.:biggrin2:
