Hi,

New to this site; going to get the LAP-BAND®® on July 15th. Very excited but I am very aware that it is only a tool and it is only as good as the commitment I am willing to give to change my bad habits to good ones and have a new lifestyle change! Out with the old and in with the new healthy me!

Wishing you all the best of luck with your journey to a healthier you!:redface:

Any suggestions on how to work this site is appreciated!

Hi LadyInBlack, I'm new to the site also, I had my first Dr. visit 5/10/10. I'm praying that I be approve. I'm also willing to change all the bad habits that was learned as a little girl, so that I can become more healthy.

Hello I am new also! I look forward to getting to know you! :redface:

Welcome ladies to the best thing you will ever do for you! It will have its challenges but you will overcome this addiction to food and your new addiction will be a fun life! I was banded on 4/7 I am a week away from my first fill, it has been tough because I loved my cokes, and candy...etc. Now my new passion is exercise and making the right choices, that is not to say that I don't regress and have something I shouldn't but I do not beat myself up over it. Once it is done I go back to making the right choices.

Good Luck

Hello everyone,

My name is Diana and I was banded on 5/11 so am 4 days post op. Things are going good so far. Both my husband and daughter have had the RnY, my daughter in 2006 and husband in 2008 so am familiar with all of their struggles, I didn't feel that the RnY was the right choice for me and decided on the band earlier this year. Had my first consult with the surgeon on the 19th of Feb and after all of the required appointments and insurance approval was scheduled for 5/11.

So many things are slightly different between the RnY and the band that I am looking for others that have or are going through the same things.

Looking forward to getting to know all of you.

My date is May 25, 2010! Very nervous. I have already started my liquid diet and this has been very difficult for me. Having a REALLY hard time. My stomach growls and I have a headache, irritable......is there anyone that could PLEASE give me there thoughts or advice on this..!

:redface:.........................

There is a site that is free Called SparkPeople that is easier to use and there are lap band people on it that would love to help you through this....I just came here to see if there was anyone getting it done in July like me.

I would say talk to your nutritionist...you shouldn't be hungry now or ever!

Good luck!
