Well said, well said...

Hey guys thanks for posting. I'm just starting the "lap-band" experience and have wondered what PBing was actually like. It doesn't sound as bad as I had feared. I hope to not do much of it, but I am a pretty bad (violent) vomiter, so I was fearing what it would be like to need to purge my pouch. Thanks for the descriptive info! Cheers~

wow, that sure was an entertaining thread to read... Prostate massage is used quite commonly for sexual stimulation, either to achieve a pleasurable orgasm, or to achieve excretion of seminal Fluid without orgasm as part of BDSM "orgasm denial" activities (which is sometimes called "prostate milking"). I personally enjoy having my prostrate stimulated, but I'm also gay. However, I do know, personally, a few straight men who also thuroughly enjoy prostate stimulation and other anal activities. So, to answer your question whether or not any straight men enjoy anal play, the answer is definitely yes. However, this does not mean all (or even most) do. Everyone's different and enjoy's his/her own sexual pleasures. Next question? :blushing:

My surgery is set for October 1st!!! I can't believe it's only 12 days away. I have been researching the band for 1.5 years and am confident that this is the right path for me. I have been told to lose 5 pounds 5 days prior to my surgery by drinking AES AdvantEDGE shakes 4 times daily (they are 110 calories each) plus either 1 lean cuisine or 1 cup of veggies. But, like most of you, I'm definitely suffering from "last supper" syndrome. I have been eating SO MUCH food and have even planned the next few days worth of meals to always include my favourites that I will never be able to have again. It's amazing how strong this disease is over us. However, I know I will be successful and am extremely excited to get the band (though SO INSANELY anxious). Good luck to you all, and I look forward to my and our journey.

congratulations. I'm getting banded in 12 days and am so anxious! I'm so scared I'm going to chicken out in the last minute and cancel... or maybe just pass out in fear. also, btw. You can get the weight loss tracker "signature" from tickerfactory.com Just set up the info. Then, it will give you a "BB" code. Enter that code into your signature profile on here and it will show up. GOOD LUCK!

I have been overweight for as long as I can remember. Though I have lost weight before by dieting and doing some exercising, I have always regained all of the weight plus some. Most of you I'm sure are reading this and saying "yeah, me too" and truthfully, who hasn't? However, I know for certain that this is going to be the time I make the change for the rest of my life. The big differences between my previous attempts and this one is that I'm not just on a diet. I know that I need to be fixed in my stomach, but also in my head. I'm seeing a counsellor once a week and she specializes in overweight people. My number one rule is to be honest with myself and those around me - which means not hiding what I eat, and really looking at what I am eating and doing. If I eat a scoop of ice-cream, then I'm going to record it and count it in my daily total, and not feel "embarrassed" and try to hide it. Being fat is embarrassing... eating some ice-cream when I "probably" shouldn't, is not. I'm very excited to get my band! I went in for my consultation just yesterday, and have my surgery in 12 days! I've been researching the band for 1.5 years and am really happy to have finally made the decision to go for it. I'm just really anxious and hope to meet a lot of good people on here to build a support team. I have a scheduled surgery date of October 1st, 2009. Cheers, Tim
