I failed my lap-band. Starting over 7 years post-op
First, I am so sorry to hear about your mom! It must me hard. On a brighter note, now, you know you are not doing this alone. Not only do you have all of us to support you, you have your mom watching over you. I have no doubt in my mind that you are going to do this! Good luck and keep us posted!

LOLLOL Rite! Thank you! That's so what I thought too!

Crazy person?
Don't be scared (even though I was), because honestly it isn't bad at all! One minute you are awake and the next, you are out and it's all done! The healing process is fast and, at worst, a little uncomfortable. The band is amazing! You will love it, it works so fast and you are so satisfied from such small amounts. I love mine! I hope you do it, don't let your nerves gget the best of you. :wub:

Kirstie Alley
OMG!!! Please tell me someone else has watched her new show? I am so mad she is going around lying like that. I don't care what anone says that women has got nerve thinking we believe that at, 5'8, she weighs 230 lbs. She is so big all over (not just one spot). I tought maybe she was like 5'0 and just looked big becasue she was short, but then looked it up and saw she is 5'8. I really really would put her closer to 300 lbs. Am I wrong? Should I even care? LOL I don't know I just think if you are gonna do the show, be honest! Maybe she is that weight and the camera just adds a lot of lbs to her....lol

Smashburger vs. Lapband
OUCH!!! You are so lucky that the drink helped! The other day I took a bite of a bagel (open face and well toasted), but still it got stuck! I waited like 30 seconds and took a sip of water....it was like OLD FAITHFUL! The water, seriously, exploded out of my mouth like someone gave me the haimlick (lol I can't spell that). It was so scary lollol ...yeah no more bagels for me! And I only have one fill!

No More Ms. Nice Girl or Just A Feel Good Rant?!
Oh!! Girl please I feel you on this one! I HATE when people tell my business. I have had a ton of people asking me about the surgury too, when I had no idea how they could have known. Come to find out that one of my cousins (who has been a SUPER HATER) is telling everyone. I know she hopes I fail and I know she is only teliing people to gossip. She told me, why don't you just try to diet...BITCH WHY DON'T YOU! LOL Of course I didn't say that...I'm a nice girl too. Oh and my sister in law, on more then one occasion, has told me that I am a cheater. She was like girl I could lose 45 too if I cheated. LOLLOL So my husband said then sis get a job with insurance or a man with a job and get it done too. That shut her up! LOL I love this website...you never know when you will be able to let go on people and vent. Don't let them bother you, just be glad you don't have to deal with them often. And remember enjoy the haters...it means you are doing something right!!!

Feeling down
The fill will help! Before the fill and after the swelling goes down it's like you have nothing there, so of course its hard! Promise it gets better...way better! So be careful and really chew and take small bites because that fill WORKS! GOOD LUCK

DAY 7 - not doing so good
I am sorry to hear that! It sucks to get down! I went through the same thing and everyone told me it will pass, and sure enough it did! Just stick with it and remember to get lots of protein in!!! Lack of protein can cause you to feel depressed/ angry. Keep in touch and hope you feel better soon!

Hola Chica lol....just kidding! I think its awesome that you had the balls to go and get want you wanted! A lot of people , me included, would never be so brave. And I think its a good choice to keep it from peole until you are ready. I mean why have to deal with haters! I really really wish I had limited who I told! All I can say is congrats and good for you! Ps the swelling will go down, but it takes some time. I couldn't sleep on my stomach for a good month after, and now its like nothing.
