  1. Thank you all for understanding and not judging me for feeling the way I do. It's nice to be in a supportive forum with such wonderful ppl. I'm usually a very positive person and I'm so grateful to have lost the weight that I have before I was banded. I messed up, I shouldn't have gone over there. I knew all the risks of having the surgery and I took the gamble. At this point I'm just praying it pays off. I agree, I should just stay away from that thread and I'm going to do that. Thanks for allowing me to vent. I really appreciate it
  2. Very nice to read this. I was just in the lap band complication thread and it SCARED THE LIVING CRAP out of me.

    My Lap Band caused Esophageal Cancer

    This scares me to the max! I have two kids, I got this surgery to help me prolong my life, not possibly shorten it. I'm so sorry to hear all this. It saddens me and brings me to tears. This is sad I pray for all of you who are going through this
  4. Congrats. I can relate. It took us two years to conceive. I did WW and lost 50lbs, got pregnant after I lost that. Of course gained it all back plus more. At my daughters first bday party, I was pregnant and didn't know it. Found out two weeks afterwards. Now we have two miracles and I lost over 20lbs during my second pregnancy. I'm saying all this to say a few things; you're not alone with the bag of nerves (I was there), MIRACLES do happen, once you have this healthy baby (because I'm praying for you) be careful because you can get pregnant very easily and most of CONGRATS on your expected arrival Keep us updated. Wishing you the very best in everything. Lala

    Not Enough Calories

    I was banded May 15th as well. I also use MFP and I'm just now making it to 700 cals a day. You are doing great in my opinion and if you're eating 800 cals and are losing weight, then I'd say that's evidence enough. Do what works for you

    Summer Challenge

    I really want to participate but I don't have a scale
  11. I'm in Chicago as well and I've been going through the process with UIC with Dr Elli. He's awesome and I was banded 5/15/12. So far it has been 5 months since I began the process with them and I have been pleased so far. The nutritionist are great and understanding in my opinion.
  12. Hi I'm in Chicago. Dr Elli did my surgery also. He's great with his patients. I was banded may 15th. So I'm a little over 2 weeks post op. Good luck with everything

    Banded May 15Th

    I was banded on the 15th of May too. Congrats and the best of luck to you
  17. I did as well during my pre op diet. Just get all your fluids in and get up slowly. I'm 2 weeks post op and I still get dizzy but it's been tough getting all my 64oz in. I hope your dizziness gets better soon. Best of luck to you
