Jason you just said what most of us are feeling, I keep reminding myself took 50 years to get here and I am having a horrible time thinking of what I am giving up, food has been my everything,everything I did had food involved. I am going through a divorce and one of the things my ex would call me was a stupid fatass and I would get mad but everytime I looked in the mirror I would see that fatass, food has controled my life for to long its my turn to get it back!!! Glad to hear your friends tumor was benign that is very stressful, hang in there we will all get there and look great when we do.

Mine is gone years of yo-yo dieting its been 20years

Know where you are at, got bandd 4 days ago and almost chickened out after getting so many negatives, I know I am going to have to follow a diet but how many diets have you been on and failed I think I have tried them all, then when I felt sorry for myself I would sit down and eat a whole pumkin pie, I have lost the same 70 lbs then but it on plus more, That is why I wanted the band,knowing I can go on a program and the band will help me I stay on the program, I am weak I haven't been able to stay on a program since the phen-pen days because I need a tool to help me. I have read alot of people following ww has anyone tried the south beach diet? Go for it girl!!!!!!!

I love the strips I hate having to chew anything! If its not liquid I have a hard time, I think the strips work great.

Self-pay, $16.500, the thing that I wasn't happy with is the dr. didn't advise me that I would have to pay for the blood work and chest exray, I gave them my insurance card so I am waiting to see if the insurance company pays it or I get billed for another $1,500.00. No new cars for awhile till I get this paid off.

Jason Jason Jason, I feel your pain, had my surgery 5 days ago and feel like I could starve to death. Other then being hungry I feel like I have lost one of my best friends, food.I couldn't get moving in the morning without a diet coke, now its tea and coffee,uck. But I have to remember how everytime I walked by the mirror I didn't know who that fat person was looking back and I just couldn't try another diet just to lose 70 lbs then put it back plus. So I am trying to remember food wasn't my friend but my enemy. Get rid of any food in your house,all of it!!!!!!!!!!!For once I feel like I am going to control food instead of it controling me! You can do it!!!

Thanks for the info about Dr Rodriquez it makes me feel alittle better, they had asked me about the hospital and from my reseach the bigger looked the newest and best. I am taking my boyfriend with me who speaks spanish but I am so going to learn how to say I am in PAIN!!!

I am going to Mexico in Feb to be banned has anyone had Dr. Arturo Rodriquez do their band? Any comments about him?
