Question for you...did you always take anti depressants or did you get them prescribed after getting banded...
-
I have been overweight my entire life...with the exception of 4 years of popping illegal diet pills...now I am considering getting banded. I have my first dr appointment on May 19. I found this website which I think is great but now I have more questions...any replys are appreciated... 1. What the heck is PB?? That some people talk about 2. Can you still enjoy a cocktail every once and a while? 3. How long did it take you to recover afterwards? 4. Is it worth it?

I would appreciate any information! 1. What is PB? That everone is referring too? 2. Can you still have alcohol? This is a grey area 3. Honestly, How long is the recovery time after surgery. 4. I have heard some people say that have to wait 6 months before having the surgery...just wondering why? Thanks!!!
