Skunk:sifone:

Getting banded in 7 days... And this particular concern has crossed my mind more than once.. lol... I totally hate it when I binge eat after im all stoned.& a bit tippsy.. lol. This doesn't happen all the time but there are those occasions were i am kinda out of control. . . I know I wont be able to do that after the band, but it still worries me a little..

Blaze... LOVED Your suggestion about the H2O, plus that helps with the cotton mouth. . . Praise to the Most I...

Hey Look, Everybody has got an opinion... We all see things through our own filters, and project our beliefs onto others. With that said... I too was very nervous to tell my friends, as each one of them has a strong level of "consciousness" and are for the most part natural/organic/spiritual people. The reaction after I mentioned it was mostly positive some mixed.. But they all listen to my reasoning and rational. Some said i wasn't big enough to have this operation and I should focus and do it on my own. After much consideration I decided to go for it.. You know what they all eventually said to me that they supported my decision because they wanted for me to be my happiest.

Knowing that this procedure is only a tool and a way to serve as an inner guide. Working out and monitoring food choices and a peaceful mindset make you truly the sucsess and not the just the band

The big thing about this decision is making your boundaries clear for yourself first, then others.. ie your friends.. Pick and choose how much of there support is healthy for you... ie. yoga/walks/gym.. and when to simply disengage them by not participating in their drama.

Gosh I'm ranting.. but just want you to know i understand the frustration. Not everyone needs to know.. pick the people who's grounded opinions you really care about..

I hope some of this helped..

Just a day at a time.. you can get through it!! Im sure i will be hurtin after week to..lol..

I'm glad Dr. Smith got you excited and seems genuine.. I have mostly spoken with Heather.. know her? First apt is 2-11-10. yay!!:biggrin:

Calling all DWF area banders!!!! Please Help..

My name is Jade 28 coming in from southwest Colorado..but don't get me wrong, I'm a southern girl from Bama:)

I am set for surgery on the 12th of Feb :biggrin: But my flight arrives Wed. 10th.

Any friendly banders out there interested in meeting up and talking with me while I am in town pre-op?. I don't know the area at all and would hate to be stuck in a hotel room.

(: drinks on me:)

No but for real i would really love some calming techniques for surgery, encouragement, and any personal experiences you might find helpful. Thanks so much..

I had mine pierced when i was 17. They were small hoops and the both rejected not once but twice. Cool that so many people on here love nipple rings... Right on!

Okay ...this has to be the Funniest post sesh i have ever encountered....Thank you ladies for making me laugh so much. And whats funnier i agree with all of you.. I love the " my poop comes from there" line and live and let live.

Personally and maybe this is tmi. I was always of the mind set that the anal pleasures are foul and if a man wanted to do that then he had some gay tendendancies...

Yet one very mysterious night long ago it just happened and it was actually way erotic... see previous post about how warm up sesh is a must!!

However since then, i have remained true to my no ehn ehn..

I tried to make an exception for my last boyfriend but i dont think it was anatomically posssible without an emergency visit to the ER..

Keep up the great posts ladies!!!

Meilwriter,

Thank you so much for responding to my post. I am struggling to make this surgical decision. I felt that the surgery center was just pushing me through like cattle. They were going to do all the meet and greet, psych eval and all that jazz, and then do the surgery the next day. This may still be the right thing for me to do but I need to make sure the operation and risks are worth it.

What was your experience like? Do you feel a great connection with the nurses and surgon? Did you have to go through some proper screening and evals before the band date or was it more like 1,2,3???

Also how long did it take you to be physically active and doing yoga poses after the band?? Again thankyou so much for your support!! it means alot to me..

Jade

Hey there all you spring chickens:) I am 28 and set to be banded on the 15 of Jan. I have struggled with my weight as long as i can remember..but Here is my issue. I consider myself to BA a spiritual person. I believe in karma, massage and herbs and breathing and have been healthy and active for most of my life. I am scared to put this band in my body. Part of me feels like this surgery is invasive and an afront to my body, but then i also know the extra weight is hurting me too. I am afraid i am copping out... But then i look at the reality of my situation and know that it is not getting any easier to lose the weight.. Just working through the mental part of this process. Western medicine vs Eastern Medicine??

Does anyone have or had similar thoughts??

Thanks
