Tired of it!!
People are a trip, I think they mean well but sometimes it can get plain annoying, before got the lap band, at work i would have lunch and have people looking over my shoulder and ask me if I should be eating that before my LB procedure and that was a month out! It got so bad for a while as it got closer to the date that weeks before my operation I just sat in my car and ate lunch. Now I hear if you loose to fast it can be bad and dont get to thin... grrrr I decided to use my full FMLA to get a break from people at work and focus on me and my recovery and weight loss.

Mood Bleepin Swings!!!
Okay Im a week out from getting banded and recently I have been experiencing these major freaking mood swings, I swear I want to rip some ones head off and yesterday i nearly did. I didnt and I calmed myself down, it begins later in the evening like around dinner time is what im noticing and I have learned that when it comes I need to get away from people and go take a nap or something. Concentrating on anything to indepth is beyond me right now too, could it be cabin fever with all this new found energy or hormonal??? :tt1: :w00t:

One man Banded!
Hi all, Im David from Cali and I was Banded June 3rd in the OC by Dr.leporte's office through LiteDimensions. I am now posting as Im just starting to feel human again as the pain and gas was wearing me out, I still havent eatin much and my Water intake isnt that great but getting better. I have droped 15 lbs post op pounds and 10 pre for a total of 25 lbs. Im happy! My goal is to drop 130 more and Im cool. I am excited about it and understand its not the magic bullet but a great tool to get me where I want to be. I have studied the Lap and Bypass for 2 years before I made a decission and for me the there was no option here. Well i hope to learn more from all of my fellow bandsters and hope to make some connections here as well, you see that Im very free and friendly too :thumbup:

Banded June 3rd
Hello all I live in OC Cali and I am 38 and Banded. Wed the 3rd of June was my big day. So far I have been very uncomfortable with all the gas and now diareah and I still havent had food since monday. Just on starvation alone I have lost weight about 16 lbs, I have felt better but I cant wait to see the new me again. Well I have studied for two years on the pro's and con's of both lap and bypass and realized that Im still learning, it's not an easy road but a journey Im looking forward too running. :blushing:
