dr malley is scheduled to do it. ive lost 13 pounds in 5 days on this preop diet, just thinking to myself if i should try and diet one last time, save myself 16,000 bucks, and if i fail, then i have this to fall back on as a last resort

joyce - have you had food getting stuck issues? how was your couple days after surgery? did you have alot of pain? has the experience been worth it to you so far? i do have one friend that has done it and she said she would do it again in a heart beat, im pretty sure im just being a pansy
-
not to sound gay, but im pretty scared/nervous going into this. im about a week away from my surgery and having second thoughts. the throwing up/food getting stuck and possible stomach erosion is what is making me second guess
-
what foods can you guys not eat with the band? you say something gets "Stuck"....is that dangerous? or does it just hurt a little, like you have a stomach ache or something....and then it passes. im getting banded on april 14th and am excited/nervous
-
