  1. MINE TOOK A MONTH JUST TO DO ALL THE PROCESS AND OK BY INSURANCE AND BOOM SURGERY. I REALLY HAD NO TIME TO THINK ON MINE. I WAS SCARED TO DEATH I HATE SURGERY. NOW I NEED TO GO SEE A DOC ABOUT A HYSTERECTOMY (HOPES TO GOD GETS IT) BUT I HEAR FROM PEOPLE ON HERE IF I GET SURGERY I HAVE TO HAVE ALL THE Fluid OUT OF THE BAND. MAKE SURE THIS IS WHAT YOU WANT TO DO. IF YOU ARE HAVING DOUBTS IF I WAS YOU I WOULDN'T GO THROUGH IT UNTIL YOUR SURE. THAT IS JUST ME. I HOPE YOU MAKE YOUR RIGHT DESICION. MY BRAIN NOT WORKING ON SPELLING I AM SURE YOU KNOW WHAT I AM TRYING TO SAY. I WISH THEY WOULD ADD A SPELL CHECK ON THIS THING. JUST UNDERLINING IT ISN'T HELPING

  11. I AM THERE WITH YOU HUN. I WAS BANDED ON SEPTEMBER 2010. LOST 30 LBS THE FIRST 2 WEEKS AND NOTHING SINCE. I FOLLOWED EVERYTHING TO A T AND STILL DIDNT LOOSE. I HATE WHEN EVERYONE ASKS ME IF I LOST ANY. I HAVE BECOME VERY DEPRESSED OVER IT. I AM NOW AT 6 1/2 CC AND HAVE DECIDED NOT TO GET ANY MORE CAUSE I CHOKE ON SOME FOOD AND I THINK I AM AT A GREAT PLACE RIGHT NOW. I WONT JUDGE YOU I AM THERE WITH YOU. FOR PEOPLE TO JUDGE WELL THEY WERE FAT TOO SO THEY HAVE NO ROOM TO DISCRIMINATE THEY HATED WHEN THEY WERE DISCRIMINATED AGAINST SO WHY DO IT TO SOMEONE ELSE,
  12. AFTER SURGERY I LOST 30 LBS THAT WAS IN SEPT 2010. HAVN'T LOST ANY SINCE STILL TRYING TO GET MY BAND THERE. I WAS GOOD THE MAJORITY OF THE TIME BUT I HAVE SLIPPED LATELY CAUSE IHAVEN'T BEEN LOSING. YOU REALLY CAN'T GO ON WHAT EVERYONE ELSE LOSES EVERYONE IS SO DIFFERENT
  13. shirley when my food got stuck and i drank it made me puke not go down. it made things worse. Sistersue my doc told me little bites and chew each 20 times. of course i am a fast eater and i forget so i pay a huge price. if you throw up too many times it can cause slippage. i throw up 3 times 2 days ago mine hasn't slipped but it is very scarey. just try to take thing slow. oh and my back hurt afterwards too i have no clue why
  14. I NEVER THOUGHT OF THAT THANKS FOR THE INFO
  15. THAT DOESN'T SOUND GOOD. YOU BETTER GET HOLD OF YOUR DOCTOR
  16. i was scared also i called my doc cause i threw up 3 times yesterday i thought my band slipped. just always remember tiny bites. i make mistakes and take a bite and dont chew long enough and it got stuck. it is scary.
  17. thanks guys i apperciate the stories so i don't feel so alone
  18. I am Valerie,i am 39 going on 40 in July the 12th to be exact I am here in Texas because my husband is stationed here. Born raised Californian. husband is going back to Iraq this year for 4th deployment. I hate it. I gained all my weight waiting by the computer to hear form my husband. food Delivery was the easiest i didn't have to leave my house and miss a call. I have a diploma in Forensic Science, and Private Invest. I am taking Criminal Justice for my AS. I study just as a hobby. I know what a nerdy right lol. I don't work. I have no kids. I can't have kids tried invitro it didn't work. 10 grand was too much to try again . Lapband hmm i lost 30 lbs in the first 2 weeks and nothing since. i have been going up and down. yes its my fault cause i have a food addiction and lapband is just a tool. if i can fix my brain to shut the hell up maybe ill lose weight. i think once my hubby is back in iraq. my husband is in the infantry here at ft hood. it might help my diet. i can wish. its nice to meet you all
  19. Yes i love hamburgers and this past week i have been having some. stuck stuck stuck. to the point of forcing myself to puke cause it hurt so bad. it happened several times this week i tried toasting it alot. nope didn't work. so no more bread i know bread is bad. i have been struggling alot cause i am addicted to food. yes the Lapband is ONLY A TOOL. it doesn't stop what goes on in my head. i am also going through alot of depression with my husband leaving back to Iraq for another year. So please do judge me caue i have been bad. I am just trying to find a way to stop the brain from telling me food all the time. is there a drug out there or something to stop it in my mind. i have tried distracting myself it doesn't help. anyone out here have this problem?
