I am being banded in February and I have 165 pounds to lose so I feel like I'd be more at home in the 200+ group than the 100+ group.

That sixty-five pounds makes a big difference!

I definitely belong here. Nice to have this thread!

I was going to say that I have no problem playing with myself but that didn't sound quite right. :thumbdown:

OK now I'm listening.lol

Hey guys, wow, I'm glad this thread is still going. I promise I won't neglect it again! I was finally banded on 2/25 and have had virtually no problems. Yay God! I'm having a little constipation problem today. (Aren't you SO glad to know that?) =) But, I'm "working on it". =)

I see that a lot of you were banded in February. You should come over to the February 2008 group. Lots of good people are there!

Lily, I got that pain too in the first 2 wks. Gasex is your friend. Get the cherry chewables and chew them down to nothing with some water. As with all gas, this too will pass. Congratson getting the surgery. I have been reading the posts here in the +200 group and it sounds like a fun, supportive place to be. Best of luck to all of you. I was banded at 358lbs on 1/25/08 in Houston, TX. I'm feeling great and am now at 303.
