i would make sure that I showered the night before my weigh ins at ww because if I showered in the morning (went to a morning meeting) it added as much as 3-5 lbs. I hear girls saying they wiegh themselves after the shower and i let them know weigh before you get in the shower bladder empty and nikid. they don't know if to believe me or not -

Anyone forced to have LB & hate having it all the time?
gweniper replied to DieselAngel2005's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I agree something is not right about this. I wanted to learn more about the op so I went to her public profile. looked up her other posts it appears she is from Bismark, so....maybe HIPPA is not big there. but it is interesting to read posts about her being a doing a pre-op diet and testing different shakes. but I found most interesting was the following DieselAngel2005 vbmenu_register("postmenu_354714", true); Registered User Join Date: Dec 2006 Age: 20 Posts: 16 New member, just banded hoping all goes well Hi! I'm excited to have found this site. I was banded on Dec.18th 2006,by Dr. Schmit, all is going ok. I am having some problems with my stitches dissolving before the incisions have healed, and they wont restitch them shut, Other than that it is going well. I go back for my first check up on Jan15th 2007. I am still on a liquid diet trying to transistion into the 2 weeks after surgury diet. I'm a college student hoping to change my life(and health) with this surgury and avoid joint replacement beings I am a mechanic that is enevitable but I'm hopeing with this it will postpone it alittle. Hopefully I'll find some helpful hints to help me along the way here (like recipes, exercise, and any information about first check ups, etc.) If you can give me any tips I would be extremely greatful. seems to me she has had a change of heart and now is blaming others but who knows maybe the above is not true and the story of her family is. -
