ArtzyGirl and Michiganer I have been banded for three months and I ve have not thrown up not even once. ArtzyGirl you can do this I wieghed 489lbs when I got Banded And although its no walk in the in the begining its so much easier now. I lost 95lbs in the 3 months since surgery and have 154 more to go but it will get done. It happens and it will happen Once you let go of food as your best friend the journey is so much easier That was my problem I had to let go of Food as a Comfort. Now food no longer excites me I have to make myself eat at this point So think happy thoughts and know that you can do this and you will.:confused: Also Thanks Insurbordination Thanks For The Compliment:D

Hello everyone this is my first time post on the this thread. WOW when I started out I thought would never be where I am today in such a short time. I just wanted to say that with will power and God all things are possible. And to encourage everyone on this thread to keep their head up because the achievement to be THIN not only to loose but to keep it off will happen I am a true believer of that. I am still quiet a ways away from my goal but I know that this time next year I will be there. In short just keep your head up and dont let other detear you from Your ultimate Goal.

Hi everyone just wanted to drop in and say Hi. Hope everyones doing good. Like Munch I cant wait till we meet again. Keep the Wieght Lose going and I'll talk at you Ladies and Gents Later:)

Hi just wanted to say Ive been a caterer for the past 10 years I got the band in May and I am doing Because I know that I just cant eat all that food anymore Once you've made up your mind on that Its really not a big deal. You can still taste test the food I have no problem doing that I just dont eat a plate of whatever Im cooking I have no problem do the things in involved with food that Ive always done Hopes this helps Good Luck

Buy The Dress I See Nothin Wrong With I Do It Myself I've Been Waiting To Fit Into A Pair Of Jeans That Are 6 Six Sizes Smaller Than What I Currently Wear That's One Of My Mini My Goals So Its Ok To Buy Clothes To Fit Into At A Later Date. Good Luck With Wearing That Dress I Know U Will Do It

I Am In Bandster Heaven I Been Hungry Dont Get Me Wrong But Its Nothing I Cant Handle Most Of It Is Head Hunger There Is A Big Change That U Have To Get Use To. It Would Be The Same With Gastric. But Everything's A Challenge Its Just About How U Take On The Challenge. Read My Ticker And See Why I'm In Bandster Heaven I'm Down 50lbs In Just 2 Months All I Can Say I Know I Made The Right Choice Good Luck To You

Your doing Great keep up the good work. It not easy to do but we are doing it. Stay positive and keep on going

I haven't posted in a while but glad to see everyone overall is doing fine. I've been exercing 4 times a week and losing about 3-4 lbs a week. I'm only 13 lbs away from July Goal of 60lbs. So anway I wish everybody Luck and I be posting at a later time.:cool:

I call Dr. Spiegle's office when I was looking for a doctor. Staff sucked cold never get in for seminar. So found Dr. Spivak went to his seminar very nice man Staff is SUPERB. You have no worry u are well taken care of. Not to mention after surgery was over and I woke up he was the first face I saw. In general he is the best by far. And as far as his experience he worked with the team of surgeons that got the LapBAnd approve for US use. So he is very skilled. My suggestion is try him also try to go to one of his seminars and just compare the two

Hi everyone I wanted to see If I wasn't the only one here that doesn't plan on getting a fill for a while If ever. I hope there are other on here who haven't had a fill So I dont feel like I'm crazy I know that this an adjustable band. But I'm doing good just knowing it's there. And knowing Hey dont go pass a certain amount food I feel like it's just a reminder for me to do right. Please just let me know if you feel the same. Lo:)

I JOIN THE CRANKY BANDWAGON (no pun intended). I JUST REALLY NOTICED IT TODAY I'M USUALLY A SEMI-CALM PERSON. TODAY I WENT OFF THIS GUY AT WORK AND MADE THE WHOLE OFFICE COME TO A STANDSTILL. I HOPE THIS GOES AWAY REAL SOON. I DONT THINK PEOPLE LIKED SEEING ME THAT WAY. HELL I DIDN'T LIKE SEEING ME THAT WAY GLAD TO KNOW THAT I'M NOT ALONE.

I'M SO HAPPY 4 U CONGRADS. U ARE AN OFFICIAL BANDMATE. WELCOME TO BANDLAND :whoo::whoo::whoo::whoo:

I started out with a high BMI still do have one. But I also have to loose over 200lbs. Hell if I can do anyone can. Put your mind to it and can happen. Look at my wieght lost ticker I'm down over 40lbs in less than 2months. Just know that you have to work hard and that it's no quick fix. It's a problem you need to fix and you are taking the first step. Good Luck

I have saline in my band Of course it's not a lot but it's there. And so far it's helping me still feel restriction 6weeks after surgery. What you are saying about the food is exactly how my doctor had his set up So I say dont worry everything wil be fine

You just started get it some time. My best advice is to get up and walk around keep moving. That really helped me We were banded by the same doctor. So congrads on your surgery and take one day at a time:)

Yes I'm going tonight It will be my first time going I read on the website that you cant bring kids But maybe you can come to another meeting and let me know. Also I'll let you know how it went:)

NO My doctor was not on the list You will be fine I'm sure GOOD LUCK
