Anyone Suffer From Anxiety While They Were Still Fat?
bandbun replied to Nicci's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I still hide from camera's i hate the darn things, and even worse 'video's' and i know the anxiety wil kick in when i start exercising too. I think i am gonna get a heart attack from stress & worry about it all. I dislike feeling like that too. -

Surgery Verses Something Like Optifast
bandbun replied to ren0318's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
the band stands a chance of changing the way you eat for life, it will help keep the weight off. Optifast will just help lose the weight , and then nothing, i know my choice, i dont want to put wieght back on once iose it. -

Completely Devistated....vent
bandbun replied to Nikki Riviotta's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
Interested to know too. -
This is what my surgeon told me too, that some of the tales of disaster over the band are due to poor maintenance by the owner, theylike to be too tight and be sick all the time then complain when something goes wrong ..

bandbun replied to change4life10's topic in Insurance & Financing

You might get lucky and just do a small amount of exercise and it could fall off of you -
Do u really want to quit your coffee, i would go with reducing the amount u drink ..
-
Having read this forum i know some feel restriction straight away postop but it would seem the majority dont and only after a few fills so u have to hang on in there till u get the restriction.
-
I agree with Cazzy this is a medical procedure, personally anay friends that cant support me in my quest to be healthy arent really my friends. good luck to you all.

New Here...learning About The Lap Band Process
bandbun replied to l_trout's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Totally agree with this .. -
A true friend would support you whatever you decide , if u medically didnt need the operation u wouldnt be able to get it unless u were self pay, would your friend tell u not to take pills for an ailment/illness, personally i cant see any difference, maybe u need to get a new friend along with your new healthy life ..
-
Great news, hope all goes well for you in your recovery.
-
I would think that waitng till your colds clered up then re-assessing how u are might be best, u dont want to get unfilled unecessarily.
-
Sugar is bad bad bad, for making u crave more sugar good luck for your surgery
-
I hope i get that amaount of restriction so early in the process, i hate needles ...

We all get scared at some point during this process, once its all over then, from what ive read on here, people then get scared band will slip, or they wont lose weight etc etc, seems like we find things to worry about a lot !
