Hi my name is Teresa. Me and my husband are scheduled for surgery Sept 1st in Chicago about 4 1/2 hours from where we live. I am nervous and anxious any suggestions and experiances would be appreciated

Lots of suggestions and experiences available here...

If you have specific questions you can use the search function. Otherwise, browse through some of the forums.

I have found this to be a wealth or information in my research of the Lap Band.

Welcome aboard!

You AND your husband? Wow, how romantic!

But okay you guys, no sex for a week--or two!

And don't get discouraged when he loses much faster than you because he probably will due to that "guy" metabolism.

Here is wishing a speedy recovery to you and your hubby!! Welcome to the state of bandland!! Loserville is our capital!!!

This is not an over night thing, and it will take a lot of gettng use to. Most of us fatty's don't like having to limit our meals, but...... with this band you got no choice. It's a good thing. Just be kind to each other and to you self's. Eat with sanity and responsibility. You did not do all this to hurt and be mean to yourself. The gas pain is the worst, once this is over, things seem to workout a little better. This is the best thing I have found on the web in a long time. I have been baned since 03' and down some 200 lbs. now I am a light weight at 390, LOL. But serious, I just found this site a couple of months ago and it has really helped. It has even given me some courage to get another fill and start the loseing prosses again. Welcome, and stay close,

Butch
