going to the seminar tomorrow. hope it goes by quickly its over an hours drive away for me and its late in the evening. I have a list of questions written down and im ready to go! i hope this process flies by, i see some ppl have maybe 3 weeks between the seminar and their surgery date. id love to see this done before the holidays. Im walking everyday or every other day depending on my lovely fall ga/fla might rain might not kinda weather. trying to push my limits everytime i walk. i have two young children so its kinda hard to jog and make my 3yr old keep up with me lol but im trying. i want to get into this routine now before i have surgery so it isnt a huge hurdle afterwords. my daughter and i had signs yesterday to in every room ( the bathroom, bedroom, living room, and kitchen and on doors ) saying "YOU CAN GO THIS!" "KEEP YOUR HEAD UP " "NEVER LOOK BACK" "she decorated them for me with pretty flowers and shapes when i go in for surgery ill take pictures and put them next the signs. SO MANY PPLANSSSS!! i told my husband today ( after i knocked something off a side table with my stomach" i said "ill be damn happy when my boobs stick out farther then my belly does" he thinks im a comedian . lol

can someone tell me why some ppl have restrictions and other ppl dont?

I think three weeks is really quick. Are you paying or using insurance? Since the band is adjustable, it takes some folks longer or more fills before restriction. For some folks the band might not even work for them. Talk with your surgeon.

Best wishes on this journey!
