Thank you for your response. I agree about doing a total lifestyle change, it's just scary, I worry I will miss that stuff more than I will be happy being healthy and skinny. Isn't that terrible. Anyways, that is a decision that I will have to make once I have been through all the steps and hopefully by then I will be 100% confident in my decision. My other concern is how do you get enough nutrients and how do you not get dehydrated when you can only sip things?

Hello, I have just started researching the lap band and believe I am ready for this journey. I will be attending my first seminar March 12th and am sure I will get alot of my questions answered. But I kinda want to know from some of you...... Are you ever normal again? Can you ever have the occasional night out where you can get kinda drunk? Can you smoke ciggarettes? I know these are horrible things and I shouldnt do them anyways, but I am just curious what kinda life changes I am getting myself into. Either way I think I am ready to give all that up for this, I just want to start preparing for it now. Haha. Also, I am petrified of the actual surgery. I have been reading alot from this website though and have seen very little negatives. Which is a relief. Anyways any support and advice would be appreciated. Thank you so much and you are all such an inspiration. I am so gald i found this website.
