Just had to add a BIG OL AMEN grl !

Calm down little grasshopper you need to learn alot about the lap band and yourself. I two was VERY upset about my insurance Co policy and the steps I had to complete before I could get my band. Now hindsite being 20/20 its a good use of your time ,to be sure you understand what a new lifestyle change you will have to make for sucessful banding.I too was an impatient grasshopper. Just for the record I NEVER AGREE WITH my insurance co's policy. Lap banding is a deep thinking process you don't want to rush thru..........

You sound like you are on the right track.Chew the hell out of it ! I ve had problems in the beginning with just slowing down. I had to step away from the TV where I lose all track of time when I am eating.

There is no smiley face figure for my response * God forgive them for they know not what they do

The display of Tea Baggers tossing dollar bills at a disbaled man in protesting his need for health care MADE ME WANT TO VOMIT ! Such a poor representation of the good in all human beings ************

Go loserbob !

I support 100% Health Care Reform, this is only the beginning it will continue to be a fight. The sellouts GOP/Insurance companies will continue to whine as they did when Social Security and Medicare first came into being. They fought long and hard to defeat these two ideas also. I have a question where would your Parents and Grandparents have been without these to systems?

Thank you for your honest testimony, You and 32 million others are the reason for health care reform.My uninsured son/college student is yet another. America is in a better place this morning ! Thank You Jesus ( Lord I am trying to forget the SPITTING from the other side just as you did)

People die each day in this country from lack of access to medical care.Pompus folks say they have free clinics and low fee health care available which is true but YOU MUST realize they have no access to life saveing test and procedures offered each day to those covered by health insurance............sleep well tonight if u can people die in this country everyday from lack of quality health care

Lord, forgive them for they know not what they do....... to the least of their brothers

Anytime one loses weight quickly there is the risk of gallbladder attack and possiable surgery. Ive read this many times ,with my many many yrs of trying one diet or another. Its not nessicarily a complication of Lap band surgery.

I had my gallbladder removed 3 months after my Lapband surgery. Did not know I had stones untill I went to the emergency room with pain. It turns out that my pancrease was inflammed from one of the gallstones movement caused the problem.M

Inspiring.......great story

I am still on the 4 oz each meal plan Dr has insisted on it so far

I was banded 10/09 had good restriction without any fills for the first 3 1/2 months lost about 50 lbs. Dr suggested I might be in the small # whom never need a fill. I was hopefull too. Several days later I am in the hospital haveing my gallbladder removed everything went well but,I felt my restriction ended after the surgery. Today I went to have my first fill and there is another problem somehow my port has caused a problem with my line for fills and has to be replaced before I can get my first fill. My theory is that gallbladder surgery shifted my stuff.

Cograts grl you look and sound great,inspiring!

I am following low carb too. Any advice on vitimin intake I think I am falling short in that area.

You are getting ready to do the best thing in the world for both yourself and your family. That is my mantra too

Its normal to feel pretty BLAH ,after surgery. I d check with Dr 6 0z of Yogart sounds a bit much. I am 4 months out and I have not been allowed anymore than 4 oz of anything

Yes those smells and wants will ALWAYS be around ! The band will be the tool that will help you like nothing else. Yes you will smell many tempting things but if you are working with your tool you have a small bite and know thats all you will have of it.

3 1/2 month post op NO REGRETS!:thumbup:,even after loseing my gall bladder 2 wks ago.I knew that with rapid weight loss sometimes can be the cause of gall bladders removal. I need my band I know that about myself.

Calm down, relax it sounds like you are doing everything you are suspose to be doing. I d go with weighing yourself less maybe every two weeks. You'll be surprized everything you are doing will work,..........just chill don't get caught in what the scale is saying at one moment

Girls come on ,take the next big step and refuse to go back. I haven't lost all the weight I want yet but I am eliminateing as I go it feels great ! I find no comfort in my biggest clothes.

Hey,isn't 4 0z meals a diet in itself? I like to keep things simple its my only focus along with a more active lifestle.

you are sick !
