Hi Becky! That's awesome! I'm proud of you!

Hi Lisa....I'm not totally sure...but when I was in for hernia surgery a nurse busted me for chewing gum because he said that it adds to your gas.....so there you go....

Good luck to you for success with the band. I agree with the other lady...this doesn't sound normal for a supposed "professional" We're given gut feelings for a reason....don't feel bad about changing.

:thumbup: Hi fellow bandsters! I'm new to the site and very new to the Banding process. I finally made the plunge and called for my first appointment with the doctor. Man was I nervous. I don't know why...I've had a packet of info about lap banding for a year now and have been thinking of it for longer than that. Anyway, I have the dr appointment set up, the nutritionist appt set up and will make the psych appointment as soon as I can. Figured I might as well get it all out of the way. I look forward to the overwhelming support that appears to be provided on this site. I have been overweight ever since I can remember...back to age 10-11 I think. I finally accepted where I was at with my weight so now can feel comfortable with proceeding with this procedure.
