Yes I will take it easy.I'm off for 2 weeks but I have a 3 yr old.so I'm working on relaxing :-).I will post my progress .someone will have the answer for ur issue also.:-)

Good luck

Sorry I can't help u with ur issue I was just banded on 4/6/2012 but I know ur experience can help mamy of us newbies here.I hope u continue to stay on and answer questions,inform and inspire us with your long term success

Personally I would not recommend u get it at this age.I would say try a personal trainer and nutritionist first.if u get 25/26 yrs and still want it then do it.every surgery had serious risks so unless you are super

Orbit or experiencing health problems if u were my daughter I'd ask u to try other things .first.

I'm also in So Cal.I live in Palmdale and spend a fair amount of time in LA.Would love to be part of a support group.I was banded on 4/6/2012.

Well I guess I'm just trying to figure out if I can handle throwing up all the time like people say you do after banding. I've heard you can eat salad bc it gets stuck ' date=' you can drink even Water with meals and I drink alot while eating. Guess just figuring out if I can handle it and if all the negative is worth the outcome. I want to get healthy and nothing has worked in the past. I keep thinking about losing weight for my future kids and I think I can give up anything for that. But do I really want all the throwing up, loose skin, hair falling out, only eating a cup of food, getting put under etc

I have those same fears but they are diminishing by the day.this is my 3rd post op day and I have not experienced non of the bad stuff that other 3-4 day post op people have experienced.no horrible gas or really bad pain.I tolerate Clear liquids and going back to full liquids today.I focused on the negative just before my surgery and it was really scary but there is a lot of great information and inspiration here just keep reading and asking.:-)

I was banded on fri 4/6. I started thinking about it and researching 2 yrs ago.I finally did it but with 39 extra pounds.please ask and do research but don't let too many more pounds creep on u before u decide.

There are also forums on here for people who got banded in Mexico.Good luck

Congratulations ! You will be fine .I didn't have to take MOM .let me know how it goes .praying for u.:-)

I'll keep this short because my laptop died and this is from my Kindle. I think this discussion is a waste of time and that the original post was highly inappropriate. This is a SUPPORT GROUP for people who are already banded or who are seriously considering lap band surgery. It is not for just anyone to post whatever they think about the band including incorrect and unscientific information. I hope the original poster will please refrain from further replies. The depth of emotion that you evoked tells me your negative posts are not welcome here.

AGREED !! This is a SUPPORT group !! the decision to do any surgery is hard enough we don't need this here.there could have been a positive way to tell people considering WLS that there are options .the original poster was very inappropriate and we all should stop commenting and feeding into this.

I had to switch from healthnet to ppo option insurance.all the doctors say healthnet is the worse.

Thank you ! I am much better after the surgery.still worried about how I will tolerate food but I have a couple weeks for that still on Clear Liquids through tomorrow then back on Protein shakes.:-)

I had it done this morning.I've been sipping liquids all day .my stomach is just achy no real pain but I am on top of the pain med and gas x.the worst part was coming out of anesthesia withexcrutiating shoulder pain.I thought they did the wrong operation.they said it was co2 gas from the e anesthesia they gave me meds hot pack and told me to do deep breathing to expel the gas.that lasted a couple if hours.so all in all pretty good so far :-)

Isopure Protein ,more like juice full of protein.Atkins shakes need to be very cold and then they are not so bad.

I just left the hospital yes I'm certain they banded my throat also :-/ I hope it gets better for u soon and I hope I can swallow in 3 days .....

Also I have a 9 yr old and 3 yr old in the house when I started my liquid diet 2 weeks ago we filled up on sugar free Jello and popsicles they love it they think it's extra treats .

I have read that some people continue the same diet after LB but my do tor said I still should stick to good lean Proteins and vegetables stop eating pizza and other breast carby things and get the band tightened.:-/

Getting banded today Inspired !! Great job :-)

Well I'm in pre op getting ready to go in wish me luck !

Great to hear ! I am having mine today I'm in pre op now.so we will share an anniversary.
