If you get stuck, I found out pineapple juice works the best of everything I tried.

Let your self heal real good, about 6 weeks for you don't take the chance of breaking loose the lapband. I like my beer, but I went Bud instead of Budlight because of lot less burbing problems, most light beers do that on me and that was all I use to drink. Good luck if you decide to do this, I am so glad I did, makes loosing weight so easy.

So Depressed!! Family trying to prevent my banding!
p59404 replied to LynneB's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I was banded on 9/10/07 and since first visit with the Dr I lost 41 lbs and I eat about anything I want, this was the best decision I ever made, makes losing weight so easy, if you can lose 3-5 lbs a month that is the best way to let your body adjust, my clothes are loose and fit in clothes I could not wear before (glad I keep my old clothes). 23 hour in and out for surgery, after I got home it was not hard at all, but I have a GREAT WIFE who took care of me, but I could of taken care of myself, but I like her taking care of me its so much fun. Good Luck on your new adventure. Pat -

How many insisions do you have?
p59404 replied to CandyE's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have 6 insisions, but my Dr said with a lot of men there stomach is larger and not much room, so they have to make one more insision to be able to pull the Lab-Band around the stomach. I never cheated on my liquid pre surgery diet (Hard going but made it) and lost 17lbs. The insisions don't hurt but do itch a little. I had my surgery 7pm on 10 Sept 07. Since my Doctors visit on 15 Aug to today I went from 294lbs to 268lbs, so I am happy so far. Pat
