Havn't been able to understand alot of the messages, don't know the lingo.Haven't been banded yet. date set for Sept. 12. On that horrible diet for 3 wks. and not doing so good! The longest 3 wks. of my life! Trying to get my son ready for university and starving to death , is not easy. Let's face it, starving to death while doing anything is not easy! Please tell me it gets easier once the band is on?

:hungry:

Me too. The thought of having my organs rearranged, was a real no-no for me. I wasnt sure if I wanted the surgery at all, becaause I was so nervous. I picked lap band because I thought if it didnt work out, I could take it out and my guts would still be normal.

Oh Cloe....lets face it, your guts weren't "normal" in the first place!!!

Ha, Ha, Ha, YOU ARE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO FUNNY!!!!

Yes, it does get easier after surgery as you gradually move towards solid foods. Most people choose lapband because you don't lose weight via malabsorption like it other weight loss surgeries... no manipulation of the GI tract. It's also a reversible surgery.

As for not understanding the posts... avoid the drama and stick with posts that are specific to lapbanding and support.

I really like the idea that it is adjustable and reversible. If I did -

god forbid! - ever get cancer, have to be on chemo, and lose too much weight as a result, the doc could loosen my band. I know that I am being morbid but this is how my mind works. I always want an escape clause or hatch.
