Hi I was approved for the band and got scared so I didn't go through with it I've heard good & bad things about the band Im braver then ever today Im just waiting on my insurance to give me the ok again Im not going to blow it this time I want to live health also if I do it how soon can I return to work

Punctuation please.

Glad you are trying again. I went back to work next day but I work from home I felt like I could have taken 3 days off and would not have suffered as much. Everyone is different.

That was rude!!!!

Thank you knhtown.

You will hear good and bad about all the weight lost surgery. I am 8 days postop and have lost 13 pounds and am on no insulin as of right now. The reason I chose the lap band was like I am sure many people would have to agree is I did not want my insides rearranged. This is the best thing I could have done for myself. I also went back to work after 2 days but did tire out by the end of the day. My job does not require any physical labor.

I am 8 days myself I had a lot of back pain, I used the pain meds a couple days. But I was able to burb hours after surgery. A heating pad and Tylenol helped with the back pain. Let me share that from 2 week pre op diet until now I am 27 lbs lost. I only have 1 chin and when I look down I see my feet. I know it's going to slow down but I've blown away my 1st two goals in a week. Keep it up and follow your diet, the weak are self defeated and the strong leave a better looking corpse in the end. :-)

why did you get scared? some consoling will help you explore this as well as help you work with the whole process my doctor offers that . Y.ou might want to look into that all support is good this is a big chance and it is great
