Oh this gives me hope! I've been feeling too scared to eat because I keep feeling the need to throw it all up so the pain stops I'll be sure to get an unfill this week and hopefully I can start eating again

Wow! You have done an amazing job You look fantastic! Good luck in reaching your goal, I'm sure you'll be there in no time!

Surgery was on August 13th Feeling great!

My surgery was on August 13 and Post op appointment is on September 6th I was told to call the dr if I had any problems but because my surgery went so well the dr didn't request to see me sooner

being banded this friday...the 13th :S oh well at least i'm not superstitious!

I'm sorry, I know this may have deterred you But why put it on here in the first place if you weren't sure of the circumstances? I'm sure that the Lap Band alone can't cause death during sleep. Other things seem to be in play here.

That's really sad and I'm sorry that this news has come to you But this doesn't scare me. I would rather have complications and pass then suffer from diabetes and heart problems for years. My mum is against me getting surgery just for this reason...however I'm sure that those who suffer complications would possibly have had other problems which were present at the time.

This is a bit off the topic but I had a friend of mine say to me "Oh I wish I was fat so that I could get lap band and not worry about what I eat anymore". Considering she knew I've been overweight my whole life and I have been 'dieting' since I was primary school then I'm sure she knew that I never chose to be this way. I don't think anyone should judge one's decision to do this, but I think people just have a misperception about the whole thing, which really needs to be changed

Hi everyone I'm 21 and am getting banded August 13 Today I was prescribed Yasmin pills to regulate my heavy and painful periods. The doc assured me that this brand would not cause weight gain So my only concern is whether i will be able to continue taking them once i get the band I am taking them purely because my periods are horrible and has caused my Iron to be really really low Has anyone else taken them for this reason?

Hi! I'm from melbourne, getting banded in august congrats on your amazing weight loss!! This site is great, you'll meet some really inspirational people :thumbup:
