August Bands

[fitme 4]

I have not told many people either. Its just hard because I already feel a certain kind of way being overweight and I don't need extra stress of people judging me. Only my husband in a few of my close family members know

[Oklahomagirl1970 4]

I have a friend who is doing the sleeve and to me I was worried that it would stretch easier and there is no adjusting it..

[Oklahomagirl1970 4]

It seems my doctor is totally different from what I've read about others... No preop dieting and he told me wants I get to the regular food phase that he wants me to eat whatever I want up to 800 calories a day and no eating yogurt and Protein Shakes after the liquid phase?

I'm nervous only cause of the stories I've heard about the port sticking out or being painful.

[Oklahomagirl1970 4]

Exactly!!!!! I should probably stop reading past the pre-op section lol!!! I'm freaking myself out!!

[LeeseeB 4]

I'm not I rely worries about the port sticking out but pain is definitely a consideration. I only have a week off work and need to be well enough to run around a flooring store all day. It should be okay. I had a breast reduction a few years ago (tmi?) and went back a week later

*should have proof read...not really worried

[Oklahomagirl1970 4]

Lol!! I had breast reduction also in 2009 and SWORE I was going to lose weight after that.. Yeah didn't happen obviously

[LeeseeB 4]

I know! Hence needing the band!

Ok I'm not the only one who is days away from surgery and still feels a little unsure! That makes me feel better! If my insurance would cover a breast reduction- I would get one in a heartbeat! That is one thing I'm hoping is that I lose some of the boobage! A life long dream/goal of mine is to be able to buy a bra that fits from Victoria Secrets! Or even a cheap one from Target! I'm tired of the Lane Bryant ones!

We should start a fb August Bands 2015 group! A secret/closed group of course! ????

[Oklahomagirl1970 4]

I was reading one of the boards and they talked about an app you can download called eat slowly they said it's great to have.. Downloading it now

[Oklahomagirl1970 4]

I agree on the closed Facebook group!! Lol!! Girl I was a double HH as in Hilton hotels.. I had to

Pay for it but I'd do it again in a heart beat. My Name is April McGhee from Owasso Oklahoma if you are on facebook

[LeeseeB 4]

If you start it, I will join it! I could really use some friends in the same boat as me that I can talk to about all this before and after the surgery.

[LessOfMe0503 157]

I'm not too worried about recovery. That's one of the reasons I chose the lapband. I talked to my surgeon today about the port. We talked about a couple different places he could place it.

[Oklahomagirl1970 4]

Ok I'll start it I'll name it Banded82015
