Hope all went well with your banding. 7 more days and I'm there w you!!!

Me too! Oh boy! Here we go

I what are you guys using on your scars and what products work best?

Am I interested? Well heck yea!!!! I'm messaging u

Congrats to you! And when you lose weight hopefully you can kiss those BP meds goodbye! I get banded 10-22 the nerves are setting in now.

Yes they put together a really nice binder. And gave me sample menus and vitamins

33 y/o soon to be banded 10-22 looking for a banded buddy

Yea it's came a long way from when I went there

I get banded 10-22-13 i couldn't be more happy about my decision. It took me a year to get approved with many disappointing road block but I fought back and I've won my trophy!!! Now, I didn't want to tell a soul about my band because my gamy are very competitive and critical. I posted a lapband hashtags well, I'm caught red handed. So people know. Some are supportive and have thousands of questions and some are critical with millions of insults. One being my big sister. :-(( u Sadden because she is suppose to be the one with me the day of surgery. My mom had to work and I refuse to change the date. She has become very hateful she won't look me in the face and she even gives me bad looks. What's going to happen after the surgery I fear? I need a buddy. I will be there for anyone the same. I don't care where ya stay. I'm in need of a friend.

Yea I stay in Hammond now but from Gary too! :-) whooo yea!

I stay in Indiana the city of Hammond

Thank you everyone for the good wishes

Yayyy!!!!! Congrats!!!!! So happy for everyone. Hahah I need a banded buddy. So bad! My family found out by just being nosy. Some are happy for me and some are very resistant. I'm already feeling emotional because one is my sister. She won't even look me in the face and when she does. It's not a good look. Ugh nervous! Our live are getting ready to changes

My nerves are shot!!! Lol it doesn't feel real yet. Congrats on your approval! Took me a year to get approved so I actually lost so much weight that I'm right at 200 but I'm still getting my band I fought too hard to give it up now I earned that trophy

My my sister and a couple of my cousin got nosy and went through my Instagram page and noticed I have many lapbanders on my page so, they confronted me and ask if I had one. I decided to come clean and say no but soon. Now the questions start!! Omg! I just want to live my life! They ask me questions like have you just tried exercising? Or have you tried this diet or that diet? Wth? If I had not tried every diet and failed I would be doing this. I'm even getting some cold shoulder from my sister. She is 12 years older and have gained weight but still looks good. So I don't get why I can't look good with her and why she feels she is owes to be comfortable in her own skin and not me? How do I deal with this?

Thank you everyone for the support. I can believe this is happening. I'm all set to go no turning back. Last week my primary doctor told me I didn't need the band in his opinion because I was fine the way I was. Well after 10 years of working for my doctor as his nurse of course he would say that but he cleared me and my surgery is roughly 2 1-2 weeks away. Band family!' A girl is being born!!!!

10-22 is my date!!! I'm getting scared now and second guessing. I've worked too hard to turn back.

Very since my approval I have been unable to sleep! I'm obsessing now on how I'm chewing even though I don't have the band yet! Am I going freaking crazy! My surgery is set for 10/22 and I'm already buying stuff. Did anyone lose it too? Please tell me this is normal!
