HI all, I was banded Dec 30th and came to the conclusion that this was a mistake, I just want it out... Do you think a band can be removed so quickly. I know my self well enough to know that at some point something is going to go wrong, I can just feel it...calling my MD tomorrow.

thanks for the support, i did call my surgeon and he thinks I am not giving it a chnace, he said give it 6 months...I tried to bargain with him and said how about 3 months and he agreeded. i am trying my best with it, I am not sure what has come over me but my inclination is still to have it removed but until then i will try hard to embrace it and think positive as mentioned by many...so i am hanging in there...we will just have to see where this journey takes me!!!

I was banded on Dec 30th and I too have realized that food was my reason for everything, I even considered calling m surgeon and insisting on having the band removed the other day. If I was happy I needed a reward and trust me I would induldge in rewards that have cost so much of my life, (popcorn and a whole box of entermans chocolate chip cookies) I almost wish I could sue entermanns!!! If I was sad I needed a picker upper..hey if i felt regular there was another reason to eat! righ know I am struggling 2 weeks in and I can't stop thinking of food. Yeah food controled my life and this is so hard but what I keep telling myself and its what I will tell you, everyday we get thru is a break thru, it's like being in rehab right now....I want to bust the doors open, leave and get hight on food but what happens after.....we allowed someone to invade our bodies, put something foreign in it.... so we need to make it count....it's easy to say we will get thru this but just getting to tomorrow is a milestone....one step at at a time..thats all we can do!

hi everone... quick question, I was banded yesterday and although I am feeling pain most concerning is this hunger pang that is so uncomfortable, it makes me nautious like i am starving. my md has me on 3 clear liquid meals. no more than 90ccs in a meal and it is even hard to get that in...did anyone feel like this day 1.

thanks for the support...I started thinking what did I do to my self, how about if i can never eat again without being in pain, started panicking but find much comfort in knowing I am not alone!!!!

I am so glad to hear that someone actually questioned if it was the right choice, I was bannded 2 days ago and find myself saying what did I do....I think its the liquid diet, hopefully this feeling will go away soon!
