Any Regrets after Lap Band Surgery ?
djb replied to SumthinsGottaGive's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
i agree..I wish I had done it sooner... there are days I hate my band but I come back to my senses and realize I want to avoid emotions by eating,,,I think therapy has been so important,,,because I dont eat because I am hungry..I eat because I am sad, mad , lonely, happy...you name it -

djb replied to SUEBDOO's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
36 pounds since Feb is AWESOME !!! I have lost 54 since Dec 10 and am beside myself with joy...imagine if you didnt have the band....I know I would have gained at least 20 instead of losing....I wish you the best -

troubles with lapband while flying
djb replied to mountaingirlCO's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
flying does affect my band...i get extremely tight and cannot eat until mid day...I always know where the restroom is and try to stick with soups if a business function...I retain alot of fluid and it takes a few days when getting home to be back to normal..I fly at least once a week so this has been a challenge -

I was banded on 12.16.10 and have had 2 fills. I flew the day after each fill, the only problem I have had is with hotel buffett eggs ...I dont know what they put in that pan of scrambled eggs but I got stuck. So no more hotel eggs No other problems
