I had my surgery on the 1-17-07 and today is my first visit back to the doctor. I do have some concerns and questions for him. I'm still a little nervous, but I am very glad I went through with it, worried, nervous, and all. The life I was living sucked I was at one point 305 and this morning I weighted 269. I haven't been able to lose 36 lbs ever. food is used to Celebrate everything, from birth to death, marriage to divorce, and every holiday and occassion in between. Celebrate life and the fact that we'll have one. If giving up some food gives us back the ability to do what we have envied others doing, take it away. Food will be there we just have to put it in the perpective and be creative with the foods we can eat. It's actually a small price to pay for a life. Highest point 305 now 269 goal 160

Hi, it has been 1 week since my LapBand surgery. I have trouble swollering water and cooler liquids. Warm fluids are ok, if I only do a tlbs and quit. But I get a knot in my throat everytime I drink. I'm trying to take the small sips but it feels like I have a large chunk of ice cream in my thoat, it hurts for a while then disappears. Has anyone had that? Does it go away soon? I don't think I'm getting enough water right now.
