    QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

    I chose the Band for the same reasons, less evaisive, can be adjusted or removed if other problems happen, also more Dr. care afterwards. The support groups at my hospital almost all had bipass and were telling me I will wish I has that later. Thank Goodness for this site, I can see how the banded really are. Also talking to someone who was successful with the band really kept me from switching.

    shoulder pain

    Gas X really helped, also while sitting I rocked alot. I am lucky my lazyboy recliner has a vibrater and that really helped while sleeping, it seemed to work the gas out. I slept well.
  6. Banded yesterday, I'm so not hungry, more thursty, It seems like work to get the protein down. I did have some yogurt but have to remind my self to drink . I get a headach and remember I haven't had any calories for a while. The surgery went well and was home by 11am. The Dr. had to repair a tair in my diaphram . Had a good night sleep. I slept in the recliner with the viborator and it seemed to help with the gad in my chest.

  7. You're my example. Congradulations!

    Excited, Scared, Confused!

    I'm being banded on 1/7. I've been going though those same feelings. The pass through weeks I've had to surrender to the process. I was lucky my insurace covered it and covers a psychologist to deal with the eating and food issues. Telling people is one thing I kept private and only family and a couple of close friends and even one of my daughters had a fit and was telling me all these horror stories she heard. But, I was glad my other daughter at the same time had a friend who had the band and lost over 200 lbs was standning write behind me and told me it was the best thing she ever did for herself. God Bless you thorugh your journey. The last few days are a lot easier because of this forum and all the questions it answers.

    January 2013 Bandsters Unite

    I'm so glad to find this site. I'm being banded 1/7. A little neurvous and excited at the same time. Most of the people at the support groups at hospital are bypass and there is no discussion on the banding,even though the diet is the same but little or no talk of fills. May God bless all you this New Year.
