Well from the sound of it your marriage isnt on the right foot anyways. If you are keeping a secret like this then something is not right. With a comment like "he doesnt notice me much anymore" makes me think you guys are having trouble. I think you should tell him, like someone else said dont ask, just tell. If he doesnt like it then oh well. This about you and your life not him. If I am wrong in my assumptions than I apologize or if you need someone to listen PM me.

Will do! Thanks a bunch! This whole process makes me nervous.

No he didnt. I found them on my own.

They said I can see my OB instead of my PCP. When making the appt, what do I say its for? :sneaky:

I have my first appt today and would love some ideas for good questions to ask. Thanks!

Thanks guys. Its so nice to be able to come here and ask things. She scared me for a minute.... I love peanut butter! LOL Thanks again!

Oh these were things that a friend ( who has the band) said should not be eaten with the band cause it could cause problems. She said no soda and such.

So I heard post op you cant have certian things like peanut butter or pinapple ( two things I am fond of). I know no bread and such. What else?:laugh:

Well as far as the piercings and such, you will have to take them out beofr ethey wheel you to the OR. They would like if you took them out before you go there. I had my tounge pierced when I had my gallbladder removed last year. I took it out at 6 am and put it back in the next morning. My hole didnt close up. As far as your skin being lose. No one knows. Everyone is different. You are young and not as big as most so odds are good you will have little to none but it depends on your genes too. Good luck and take deep breaths! I know your worried but it will be ok. And you wont need protein shakes your whole life! LOL

Thanks! And congrats on your weight loss! Thats amazing!

Hey I will take 55lbs inless than 5 months! Thats awesome. But my age is what may hold me back form surgery. I dont know if I have been "big" long enough!

Oh and the age thing was only because with someone closer to my weight and age weight loss would be a little more comparable.

Thanks! Did you do a pre-op diet? If so how long and how much weight did you lose? What did you do? I am trying to get a good idea of what its going to be like. Price ( as I heard protein shakes can be pricey), weight loss, and how long.

So I am beginning this journey and would love to have an experienced bandster who maybe started around my weight ( 320) and is under 30 to ask all my silly questions to and get some help and support! Any takers to help poor (not) so lil me?:smile2:

I havent had surgery yet but I can tell you what I am looking forward to... I want to have the confidence to dance in a night club with my husband. Not have my tummy touch the steering wheel when I drive. We live about two hours from Orlando and go to parks a lot.... I would like to ride some roller coasters... I dont because the seats arent big enough.
