Banded 6 years, here if you need me
i can use the help real bad . i find myself eating just because i know its there then there are times when i dont wanna eat at all i dont know what this is but i do need some help i was band on the 5th of may of this year and so far lost reasonable weight but this eating habit needs to be poff gon! i cant go to a gym (personal reasons) so all i do is walk at least 3-4 miles 3 times a week. i think i can do alot better if i had a buddy ? or join a team? theres not local band support group so im kinda on my own right now.

Dr said eat anything I want! What??

Fill... why not all at once?
you can . when i had my fill (in a 4cc band) i got a 3cc then went back the next week and got another 1cc thats the max. i know me i know what i can do to food...lol and i have been ok with it so i guess it depends on your doctor

who likes curves ?
howdy ya'l! i was just thinking of joining curves but wanted to know if anyone who has had the lapband sugery had any problems after joining (port pain, n/v) ? want a few oppions before joining winter coming up and i need to find a place to get this lazy body moving so i can see thepounds come off like they "use to" in the begaining.:thumbup:

Your Decision
with me being in the medical field i see patients come in that had the bypass very ugly ( feeding bags), gain greentothe intest i mean its either gonna work for you or against you, you wont know until you had it, after looking into the band its reversable less invasive less side effects and the weight comes off slow (for me very slow i mean malassess slow..lol) but al least it the healthy way.
