Finally got date yesterday, FEB. 5th for me. My mind is really starting to wonder now, forgot everything I have learned on here so come back to brush up a little!

Not sure why but I feel braindead now, it's all starting to sink in "it's really going to happen" . . . . . . . . . .:o

You have a Band Buddy in NW FL eagerly awaiting your outcome. You will love Band Land just follow the rules and you'll do well. Two hours after surgery they had me walking the halls at the hospital. Next day released from hospital and flew back home across the country. I was very tired, but would gladly to it over again. So worth it. Hugs, Nancy Bender if lovely Panama City Beach

Joyfulnan@comcast.net if you need to speak to me privately.

Take a heating pad, gas x stripes with and adult liquid tylenol.

Yes Kim I'm going to be banded on that date as well we can keep in touch. Dont know if I can help with nothing but chating and shareing wonderful stories about being banded we can support each other via email and chats

Looking for a band buddy

I was banded Jan 15, 2008. I have lost 35 pounds so far which feels fantastic. I am trying to be a good bandster but I keep sabotaging my own efforts. I am in control and losing weight then I want to just eat. It's like I don't want to be successful in my subconscious or something. Looking for someone who has struggled and been successful.

I was banded 1-24-08. I just had another fill today b/c I wasn't losing. OK - I'll be honest - I was taking in a lot of "slider foods" that went down too easily. Joining this site is a re-commitment for me. I have to remember that I'm not cheating anyone other than myself.

Hi. Where were you banded? How much have you lost so far? Tell me about yourself. I am a retired teacher. My husband just had lapband too. We are self pay. What about you?

I was banded 1-31-08 pretty close to you guys...Has it been slow go for anyone besides me??

I have a 14cc band and have 6.8cc in and its PERFECT FINALLY!! I tell ya it took a minute to get good restriction. But the last 3 weeks or so the weight just seems to be falling off.

I need a buddy so much. I am not loosing at all

Help me!!

How is your restriction? Are you exercising? Are you drinking lots of Water? Tell us a little bit about whats going on and maybe we can offer some tips.

I need a buddy also! I seem to have lost all motivation. I have stopped exercising completely, I bought new clothes that are too small now, and I just eat things that I know I am not suppose to! I worked so hard to loose the first 50 pounds now I don't know what happened. It's like I just don't care anymore.

Somebody give me a swift kick in the butt to help me get back on track! (I think that's what I need)

I feel the same way. I have lost about 50lbs and I look in the mirror and I ask where the difference I dont see any so I have found myself eating a little worse here lately.

We just have to get it in our heads that we want to continue to lose the weight!!

I think it is easy to get back into old habits once the band has been in place for a while. Sometimes I have to go back to one day at a time and start charting again. That seems to help me get back on track.
