  4. the thing is weight shouldn't matter to you're loved one if they adore you for who you are inside nothing else should matter at all weight can always change but people that are ugly on the inside Thats something that not even plastic surgery can change people that have called me names based apon my weight this is exactly what Ive said yeah my weight I can change but that inside of yours is unrepairable and rotten I dare to say fat because its a word that I no longer take as harsh because I Dont let that one word take control of me fat skinny or whatever Im happy for my self no one else lives my life but me I hope the world can change in that aspect either its in high school or a work environment pls respect all areas of human bein god bless
  5. congrads on Ur sucess very proud keep up the amazing work god bless
  6. I had my band a year after my daughter was born and Thats was my concern too as well cause I was considering the sleeve at the time and my doctor said the band would be better considering my age and wanting more babies my obgyn too didn't want for me to have the band either suggested some medication with a healthy diet most doctors Dont want you to have the band Im not exactly sure why but Thats the second doctor telling me that my band doctor did say I wouldn't have any problems with my band but I have heard that once u unfill from Ur band completely that it isn't as tight as before not sure how true that is hope this helps god bless
  7. hope this gives ppl incouragement Ive struggled and judged my self and wished for food and heard comments upon my band made mistakes got right back up but Ive never regreted my choice to have the band because Im happier healthy a much better person its all worth my feeling like gold like nothing can bring me down even if something would too Ima get right back up again its worth the fall cause that rise is much stronger good luck and best of wishes
  8. don't worrie I too was scared but you're in control always remember some think Im never going to be able to drink this eat that but the thing is you can maybe not now but when you're able to control the amount of food you eat takes time in my experience I did have mistakes which is so normal and food does get stuck and when it does Ive learned room temp pineapple juice or before you eat drink something hot so you're throat is relaxed coffee is perfect opens up the air way you're doing great the band is a tool to help you're mind adjust to you're new life style Dont let the worries of food getting stuck or failing because you will get right back up and have the acomplishment knowing you never gave up you Cant change over night but slowly you're mind will change and you will never worrie again at the end you will overcome this its worth trying always because you trying will make a difference in the end hope this helps god bless

    Is it risky

    maybe try tramadol helps and its none addictive Im not sure if it comes in liquid I know all about back pain its a pain I wouldn't wish on anyone and hasn't been better since loosing 125 pounds as for pain I take 800 mgs motrin and have never had pain again by taking motrin even with my galbladder being taken out or a hernia repair long term use does cause liver damage but other wise talk with you're doctor or his nurse to be safe
