Hi Woobeesmom, i was banded 2 1/2 weeks ago and i can eat anything and i am always thinking about food. I am starting to wonder if this is going to work for me. Maybe i am destined to be fat...... very sad

dont kill yourself John337, i was banded last week and I really struggled with the pre op diet. I did eat some food and i was just fine

i am kinda falling apart.... i get banded in 3 days and i am really having some bad panic attacks.. also i have had migraines and been sick from not food for 10 days before surgery. i have had to eat a few things just to get by, do you think i will be alright?

i too have to have my hernia fixed at the same time. what is recovery on that surgery, is it worse than the LB? thanks for you help

congrats to you.. can i ask why you took an entire month off work. It makes me nervous because i have surgery next week and i am only scheduled for 4 days off

well good luck to you gonnabethinagain, i am sure you will do great.. we will have to keep in touch. i am actually 5'3" and 217 lbs.... hopefully were all gonnabethinagain

oops sorry, i meant how much do you need to lose ?

maybe your smaller to start off gonnabethingagain. can i ask about how much you need to weigh?

Dear ALuv82, your a hoot!! I will be banded on 4/28, one day after youk so we have much in common. I loved your blog and i too am scared to death. i am nervous for the liquid diet a week prior, Lord give me strength. Keep in touch girl.... Kimmy4040

Cleos Mom, i don't understand, you say last week you weighed 18 but you hae lost 70 lbs, doesn't make sense? if you were a self pay this is very discouraging to me..... i am due to have surgery in April but than i read this.

i too am 5'4" 210 pounds, hoping to lose 70 pounds. Self pay, wow lots of money. do you think it will be worth it for us?

thanks for your input, what about all your fills?

thanks so much for your input

i will probably have to pay for it myself, have you heard anything about the surgical weightloss center of Utah?

Is anyone out there from Utah and if so where is a good place to look into getting your lap band

I have been reading all your blogs and i am wondering. I am 3 weeks out for my first initial appointment. what are you talking about when you say you wonder if you have lost enought weight for the surgery, what is this about? thanks for your info

hi, i loved your remarks, it got me so excited. i am 3 weeks out from surgery and so nervous. can you tell me more about how long you took off work. what do you eat the first couple of weeks? how much weight you had to lose? Thanks so much for your input

you say you have lost 30 lbs since the end of April, is 5 lbs a month about what people lose a month?

Hi All, I am going in for my first visit next week. I have been overweight since i was one it seems. If a person needs to lose 70 lbs would you recommed banding?
