I'm not sure where to ask this question. But, the answer is terribly important to me. I understand that the lap band is not an instant panacea to my obesity and that I will have hard work ahead of me to follow doctor's orders, make healthy food choices and to exercise regularly. I have seen posts on this and other forums where the person posting seems to be doing everything right (diet, fills, exercise, etc) but are losing little or no weight or are in fact gaining weight. I don't understand how this is possible. My question: Is there a chance this will happen to me?

I keep thinking about a tub of movie popcorn with melted butter. I also keep wondering if I should have had some fantastic last meal. I didn't because nothing sounded that fantastic at the time and because eating anything that fantastic was what got me to this point in the first place. I keep telling myself that 2 weeks of Protein shakes twice a day and a lean cuisine (never liked them much bf but now find myself looking forward to this small amount of solid food that now seems to taste incredibly good, lol) and three weeks of liquids after the surgery are really a small price to pay for what I hope to be a lifetime of healthy living.

Hello everyone...new here...will be having my lap-band surgery on the 23rd of this month. My best to everyone who has had or will be banded this month.
