Pre-op Cheating help!!!!
I am dyingggg.. Im on the 2nd, almost 3rd day of this 2 week liquid diet and its really hard. I have a migraine but cant take Excedrin or anything that will actually make it go away. Im only allowed Tylenol. This sucks. I feel like I'm dying. I wanna eat real food. even like cream of wheat or applesauce. anything besides chicken broth and SF pudding/ jello. Drinking stuff makes me feel like throwing up. Am i being a wuss? or did anyone else have this much trouble??

PCOS & the Lap Band?
i was diagnosed with PCOS about 3 years ago. The Metformin made me so freakin sick that I stopped taking it like 3 months after they gave it to me. It didnt seem to help anyways. Im hoping that the weight loss in general from the lapband will help me alot . I get it in a few weeks. i cant wait

Los Angeles Bandster looking for others
I want to meet up with you guys too. Let me know when/ where / whatever =]

Lap vs Bypass
my doctor still keeps asking me if " im sure" about lap band , as opposed to bypass. he says " its not too late to change your mind" . ( im scheduled to have my lapband on feb. 19 ) I hate the way he asks me that. It really makes me second guess my choice and makes me wonder if he maybe knows something i dont know? I dont want to fail. I want to choose the right surgery for me. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to make this decision? Dont say to do my research, because believe me when i say I HAVE !! but the bottom line is that i really dont care which one. I kind of like the less invasive-ness of the lap band, but Im open to everyones opinion. I only want to have WLS once.

February '09 bandsters?
Ive been thinking that constantly. Ive been bouncing the thought back and forth constantly, wondering if maybe I should just go ahead with the full bypass instead. ?? I wonder if alot of ppl wrestle with the same thoughts?
