Great advice ! I'm 1 month banded 3.5 cc in my 14 cc band.so I'm still interpreting and we are still bonding but I will be mindful as I find the greenzone ! Thank u !

I chose the band for the Same reasons as others, I actually just read about depression and the sleeve.caused by the removal of the part of the stomach that produced Ghrelin.the hormone apparently decreases depression and removing it apparently increases. :-/ I have been on the sleeve boards and there are a lot of band haters there.Also a lot of misinformation about the band.my main reason for choosing band is adjustibility and keeping my stomach but honestly if it fails I would probably chose sleeve before bypass.I think it's an incredibly hard decision to chose a WLS I wish u the best of luck whatever u choose you will have support here. ! :-)

I'm one ninth banded 4/6/2012 ! Love it !! Good luck in ur search.

Carnie Wilson was just in the news for eating her way around the bypass snd now just got the Lapband.She talks about making choices in this clip.

Beautifully stated Ladybug !! :-) yes I'm realizing happiness is a choice.I know that this feels like a bad break up and well it is! But just as u got over an old spouse u will get over this food stuff with Gods help and the amazing support on this site ! :-)

Ooops I'm about 30 days post op.typo :-/

About 40 days pay op doing 800-120 but today did 1500 but that's not the norm.

Thank you for sharing !

My bmi was 54 and I got the band.they just trying to sell their surgery.my friend is being sold the sleeve with the same messgage.

When do u eat solids I was banded 4/6 and have been eating as tolerated since 10 days after.?eating solids will start the band to working.right now everything is still going right through it.

23rd lbs sounds good but would need to know more info to give opinion on what I think u can do like when were u banded? How many cc in if band? Are u eating Protein first?

Gas x heating pad walk banded 4/6/ it gets better :-)

It took two years to lose 110 pounds because it came off at like a pound or two per week. I also tried to stay active (i was never skinny before but was always an athelte) and had no problem with excess skin. DOn't get discouraged and rememebr every day is a new one. If I can do this' date=' anyone can! Good luck!![/quote']

Thank you ! I am very inspired !

For me it was 14 days.it will level out ur body is recovering from surgery and SHOCK u will be fine !! Good luck !

Very inspired by ur 110 LB loss !! Banded 4/6 and I am praying to lose at least that much.how long did it take u to lose 110 lbs.?

Are u really in the green if u can't eat.??

Banded April 6 did a 3 HR recording session (background) for a friend with no problem last night.:-)
