Hi guys,

Before my wls, I saw a psychologist who specializes in weight loss. He explained that the urge we feel to eat fatty foods is not necessarily, because we are weak or do not have enough will power. It is actually a physiological mechanism. The fat cells seem to know we are at war with them, in order to try to survive, they send chemical signals to your brain. You are brain relays the message to you saying... eat more fat... eat more fat... So please, let us try not to be so hard on ourselves. There are alot of factors that influence our desires and habits. The fact that we no longer totally and willing submit to those desires is the fantastic. :clap2:

lets hang in there...

I got banded at Swedish Covenant Hosp. by Dr. Agos. He's a good guy. :clap2:

My insurance didn't pay. The hospital has a package rate if you're a self-pay. It's about 16K.

Hey you guys....

I got banded on Monday (20th). :nervous

Today I stepped on the scale and I weigh more than I did the morning of surgery... what's up with that?!
