Oh hun, I think its totally normal! I am just starting the process in getting banded and I have never eaten so much in my life. Its like...I know I cant eat this way after I get banded, and I just indulge and over eat. I think its how we say "goodbye" to our old ways...just get that food in one last time. I put on 10lbs since I made the decision 2 months ago to get banded. Good Luck hun, I know you will do great!

Hiya! Hope you guys have enough room for another newcomer to be added to the bunch! I am just starting out with all the procedures that lead up to getting banded! I am 28 yrs old, married with 3 wonderful children! I have been obese all my life and I am so ready to stop struggling with the yoyo diets I have been on. I see my surgeon for the first time July 8th (tomorrow!) I look forward to chatting with all of you and good luck to the future/newly banded people...and congrats to the people who have already been banded for a while and shed the pounds! Its going to be a lot of work, I know .... but I am ready for a big change and glad to have you guys here to listen :biggrin:

:thumbup: Hiya everyone! My name is Karen and I am 28 w/ 3 kiddos. I am just starting out my journey to get Banded! I see my doctor on Tuesday for my initial consult. I just started the 6month diet plan for my insurance...so looking to get banded at the beginning of 2009! I have been overweight ALL my life and struggling with the yo-yo dieting forever it seems now. I am very excited about getting Banded and think it is the right choice for me (even though my friends think its the "easy" way out). I have heard nothing but negative things about getting the Lap Band from my friends. My husband is all for whatever makes me happy and I AM happy I am taking control of my life and getting the help I need! Congrats to all who have got Banded and did so wonderfully (I have been on here reading for a while now :biggrin: ) and Good Luck to the newly banded and future bandsters!! I look forward to talking to everyone!
