On the mend

Once they started to put the lap band in, they noticed a hole in my diaphragm so big my doctor could get his fist through it. I am healing from that surgery....plus two lap bands...the first one failed.   I went in Dec 17th, but had to have a new lap band put in Dec 23rd. Not fun, but my life was in danger and you will do anything they say to live. They had to drain the contents of the pouch, out my nose so to knock me out, they put a fist to my throat...I guess anaesthesia could have allowed me to inhale the contents into my lungs. It is not something anyone would want.   So, my advice is NEVER TO CHEAT....do exactly as they say, because a blockage of the lap band can cause you to die very fast.   I did not cheat to experience this. But I am the better for it, and know that this is nothing to fool around with. May everyone find freedom in obedience in 2010.   Love to everyone :tt2:

Amazing Grace

We were taught to always say Grace before we ate..something I would have done well to observe. I have found that if I truly give a problem to G-d, that He solves it for me...including the food. I am not denying HIs ability by getting a band, I am doing my part in the rpocess: cutting off theat which offends....I have not been willing to give this problem to Him and allow Him to dictate when and what I would eat... That is the curse.   I am hoping to employ a greater tool now to assist my will: the band will slow me down, and will remind me that I have a problem that needs attention. Am I lying to myself? I surely hope this is one of the benefits of the band...It is difficult with the band to forget that I have taken action to restrict my eating.:thumbdown:   I am about to go to my first consultation meeting in 48 hours...I was gung-ho about the lap band after the seminar, but then I went on you tube and saw a bunch of videos about how the lap band did not work for people...and they went with bariatric, etc.   I did not watch the videos but only saw there were alot of them there. I am a little worried about the fact that most of what I have binged on and liked over the 20 years I have been this heavy, are soft foods, like ice cream and dairy products and cheese and such. I am watching what I eat and find that I do not eat very many things I have to chew...isn't this an odd realization??? (Being facetious.)   I started thinking maybe I need to ask the doctor about sleeve gastrectomy, since I am going to be 64 in Dec and once I am 65 Medicare (which I will be forced onto) absolutely never covers any type of bariatric surgery other than the lap band.   Any ideas about this? Abd please tell me someone something of the types of food you eat now with the band...are they all to be chewable foods, pretty much? That's OK I just would like to know.
