I dont have any info on this but just a suggestion, work the plan given by the Doc, it will come off just not as fast. This might me a safer method also.

Dear Kat: I think that advise is good if the person giving it has the right knowledge and imput and all the facts. The wrong advise given can and does goes damage that at times can not be undone. In this response that you gave, it has good things and bad things. What if the male side of the relationship just wants to see if his other to be half would help in the financial side of things and if the loans are the way to get a better education then this may be a good thing. I dont know, as I said I dont have all the facts either. One thing that has always amazed me is that just like all the shows on tv, all the talk hosts seem to have all the answers. I think not,,,,,,,,,,,

yep I know what you are talking about, I struggle with the very same issues. For me it is all about support group and this web site. I follow very strickly those that have gone before me. Todate I am down 70lbs.

gotcha gotcha gotcha...............the hooky police

yep, I know what you are talking about, I beleive in my case it is a head issue. No matter what I will not continue this type of eat eat eat. I know that I have will power. I just have to use it. Yep it is tough. But whats the alternate. I believe that you should get all the sweet stuff you take at night out of the house. Old saying" out of sight out of mind" the other saying that I like is "Junk in Junk out" Who wants Junk? This is a life change and unless you change nothing will ever be different. A christian auther writes" change is not change unless YOU change". There are a lot of support groups for eating disorders and other types of support groups. Just a suggestion.............

Houston: Here is 3x, just on crusie control, have not seen lapband beast for awile, however I did experience its control over me. It was not a very good feeling either. Got space sickness but this was due to the mission issued food I think, just ate to big of bites, the tubes are not easy to adjust. This needs to be re-thunk. Have noticed that when the lapband beast is not on my mind, then I seem to not loose weight, this is not a good thing as being to heavy is dangerous to me and those I love. So I need to step back on the right path find the beast and make it my companion. With this in mind, I know that I will once again be on the road to great discoveries. signed 3x:faint:

Had my first fill, Just follow your docs instruct and use the tool (band) dont let it use you

Follow whatever YOUR doctor tells you, He or She should know whats right.

yep 70lbs thus far

the two main ones are bread and pasta

Had my first one, it happen after I took a bite and it either was too big or not shewed enough, and yes I aggree you dont want this to happen. Follow the path of those who have gone before you,,,,,,,,,,,Listen to what they say and do it right

Yo Yoda: Good luck with the second fill. I was banded april 17,06 so far have lost 70lbs. Its been different, when I now get on a scale the slide bar goes to the lft instead of the right. May the force be with you, keep us posted on the darkside????

stick to the plan, and just wait until you get your first fill

Nope no regrets, the only thing i regret is when someone ask me are there any regrets. Before I had the band I did the research, and I think that is what must be done. Once you have done this, how can there be regrets? you did the research and you made the choice. down 70lbs banded April 17th.

Yep krispy kreame is what they say: A sure ticket to a deep grave. So yep go one eat em and you will learn, why do you thing they melt in your mouth, its pure death..........................

Keep up the grt wrk

easy way to find this out is just give a call to your Doc and ask them this question. Then you will know

Prayers go up for all those in need

Follow the plan, stay focused and you will win this battle. thats what it is so stay focused

Hellooooooooooooooooo from Idahooooooooooooooo. great to have you on the team, I have been keeping a short journal about my trip thus far if interested take a look at it, its open to the public.

Houston: WE HAVE SUCCESS A report from the outer planet today reveiled that Astronaught 5X has encountered the mysterious Lapband beast and the beast is winning. Sent to this galaxy at 411lbs, 5x has been shrinking and is now at 344lbs. This report on the beast is being released to those at mission control to show that the beast is not alien and against us but just is doing what it was designed to do. And that is to help mankind. The only thing that it requires is input of desire on our part. Stand by and expect future contact from galaxy lapband on the continued response of the beast. And a side note to all those who are yet to come, ITS GREAT DONT HESITATE TO THE RIGHT THING. But most inportantly remember that the right thing is not the beast for everyone, it must be your decision and no others. This is 5x now going by the call sign 3x until we meet again.:heh:

Thanks for sharing this should help many make the decision that is best for them. The point being, do the research............................

You know, I debated this for a very long time also, I finally decided to have it done in the states and double the cost but I have a mountain of support if anything should go wrong, I feel extremely confident with my doctor and all the support that I have around me. Bottom line, its what do YOU want and then go get it done. I was banded in Idaho by Doc Cahan my surgery took all of 60minutes and one night stay in the hospital to check all had gone well. The success story is I am currently down 61 lbs and still losing.
