i would love to hear your story, if you dont mind. i know everyone goes through it differently. my friend had the lap band done a month ago and already she is seeing that she cant eat some foods she could before and it scares me. ive been with her the whole time going to her doc appts and it amazes me what she has to go through. people say that it just freaks them out that half there stomach will be gone but it doesnt bother me. i know that if i go through this that there is no turning back but i like the idea of not worrying so much as with the lap band.
