My humble advice is to make sure you have tried everything else and given it as much effort as you possibly can before considering surgery. You are still so young and I know it must be hard for you to be big. But to me surgery is a last resort, not a first one. Regardless I think the first step is to talk to your family doctor about it and go from there. Or maybe you could find a lapband surgeon in your area and attend one of his seminars.

There is a "Big Lapband Book"?

I tried Firefox, IE and Chrome and the after picture won't show in any of them. Weird........... All I get is a little box that states "posted image". Guess I will just have to fantasize about your success. Bummer for me..... -

Missy I don't see an "after" picture. Have you deleted it? -
How are we gonna keep the rookies outta here?

That is odd because my doc was encouraging me to drink that very day. They kept bringing me cups of water. I hear you about the getting out of bed though. Getting in and out was the hardest part for me.

I am diabetic so I much watch my carb intake. I limit myself to 15 grams per sitting. and then must wait at least 3 hours before I take anymore in. Of course, I'll admit I can't always do it right.

m1aman replied to zburdeshaw's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had glue and showered the next day. Only got the incisions wet briefly and patted them dry. No problems. -

Why am I an Aspiring Evangelist?
m1aman replied to m1aman's topic in Website Assistance & Suggestions
Okay thanks man. I was wondering how some people have changed theirs to whatever they want. -
If that is the case wouldn't carbonation have been stretching our stomachs all these years. Why would it just stretch the pouch. Seems to me if you burped that would rid the pressure. That is why we burp anyway isn't it? To remove gas from our system...... Just thinking out loud here..........

How do you respond to people who say "You're Not big enough to need surgery?"
m1aman replied to dolphintattoo's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I know how you feel. I never looked like I weighed 388 pounds (at my peak) and most people were very surprised at how well I got around as I was pretty agile for a fat guy. I'm sure everyone agreed I needed to lose weight but maybe felt it wasn't manly to have surgery. Oh well, only I know how terrible I felt and how many times I had tried and failed to lose weight on my own. -
Not feeling restricted

It might take many fills. Everyone is different, -
what did you wear in the hospital?
m1aman replied to dolphintattoo's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I stayed overnight and just wore the gown they gave me. I did put my underwear back on underneath. -
nerves increasing before surgery?
m1aman replied to dolphintattoo's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I guess the nerves are normal for most people. I was afraid I would die in surgery if anything. But just having the band won't necessarily make you lose weight all on it's own. You will have to work it by eating properly. I believe most people do well with the band. But some don't........ -
My biggest scar is raised and hard and painful
m1aman replied to Giovy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Yea I would get that looked at. It should be better than that at this point. (I'm not a medical person though) -

m1aman replied to Giovy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I would call the docs office and see if the nurse thinks you should come in. Is it redder now than it was before?
