Hello. First time at this site. Looking to find out more info. My main question is this, if I were able to follow the diet need after the banding, before I have the banding done, I wouldn't be needing the banding now. So, after the op I won't want to eat as much because I feel full? But people be honest, how many heavy people eat because of hunger, I eat because I feel driven to eat, I just want to eat. I was set to do the by-pass-op. It was a thursday, the day the small group of people met with the doctor meets with you to "talk you out of the op" okay 1 in 50 does not come out of the op, and everyone says that it won't be me, but it just might, so keep that in mind. Then they go over what happens for the next 6 months of your life post op, and I said, "if I could do all that now I wouldn"t need the op in the first place". It took me 18 months to get all the paper work in place for the op, the nurse, who just had the op a year ago lost 120 lbs, started me on the paper work was now also at this thursday meeting. Well I remember her dress fitting nice, was now very tight. She had started stress eatting after a family member was sick. I could see that this lady was upset about her dress. I was to go in that Tuesday, Sunday my mother in-law was sick and went to the e.r. with stomach pain. My wife needed me by her side and so I canceled the op. Mother in law had stage 4 cancer and past away in 5 weeks. That was all 18 months ago. I have not lost any weight, I have put on 25 lbs instead. Desided the by-pass is to risky, mand I am going to do the band. There you have it. ANY FIND BACK ON THE BAND OP WOULD BE GREATLY WELCOMED. Thank you. Allan:help: :help:
