I was about 300 when banded last week.. i don;t have anyting to say obviously regarding speed of loss but I know I look forward to loss of size. i currently am a 28 in some clothes. Others a 28 is too small.

I am sick of soup, jello and protein drinks! I never thought I would look forward to regular food in a blender!

Well here is hoping that this gas gets out of here soon. That and moving on to mushies! I am dying with this liquids crap!!! I want to kill people who can eat real food! :hungry:

I have told very few people. My DH, parents, brother, a select few friends, and just recently my mother in law. Nobody else from my family or my husbands family knows. I just had it done last week and will see if I change my mind as I start to lose weight. I will probably go with the seeing a nutritionist, eating right, excersice thing. i dont think I would lie to someone if directly asked if I had surgery. I was very lucky that my family was very supportive of the LAP band. It would not have been such an easy thing if I told them I wantd RNY. They would not have supported me on that.

:help: I was banded on Monday. For the last few days I have been having some pain when I am sitting or standing up. If I am laying down I am fine but if I stand up I feel like I have a huge burp trapped. It is really uncomfortable. :cry I am hoping nothing is wrong. I am on clear liquids until next friday. Any thoughts or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Hello there, My name is Candice and I am 31 years old. I have 2 children that are ages 1 and 2. I am almost 5'8 and am around 305. I am going to the required informational session tomorrow night at Saints Memorial in Lowell, Ma to start the process of banding for me. I am not doing this to get skinny, I just want to be more healthy for my children, and being in a size that will allow me to shop in any store will be a nice added bonus. I look forward to all of the insight and advice you have to give! Candice
