When you say you can still eat when you get banded, before you get filled, what do you mean? Is the band not filled at least some at the time the band is done?

Since I'm new to this web cite and Lapband "speak", can someone tell me what PBing and sliming is?

I'm very down on myself and my surgery isn't until October 15. My husband is a high school coach and football games have just started. He wants me to go to games and college gamewatching parties. I just don't feel like going places now unless I have to. I won't buy any kind of clothing now. I'm looking forward to losing the weight and shopping in my own closets full of clothes that I have refused to get rid of over the last few years as I've gained weight. Just hold on Gracierose.

I can't say that my husband is all for my surgery, but I'm having it anyway. He's had to deal with all my health issues and I'm sure he'll feel differently after the surgery, when I start losing weight and my other health problems start going away because of the weight loss.

Hi! This is my 1st post. I have my H&P appt. with my surgeon on Tuesday. My surgery date is 10-15-10. I cannot wait and would do it tomorrow if it were possible. Is there anything I should be afraid of. I'm generally not afraid of medical procedures. My daughter is a RN and is not happy I've decided to do this. Good luck to everyone and I'm looking forward to reading more posts and following everyone's progress.
