omg i am sooo sorry to read about your loss Reading your story really makes me wonder and second guess about getting the surgery now.... once again... i'm very sorry... my heart goes out to her family and friends... especially her husband

hello everyone!! my scheduled surgery date is January 8th!!! everyone wish me luck!! my surgeon doesnt require a pre/op diet, i, however will probably do it one week before my surgery... do you all think i should start sooner, or not even do the pre/op diet since its not required?? well thank you everyone!! good luck too! =)

Lmao I get that all the time too! I also hear, "ohh you're too young!" Or "just go on one more diet," "your taking the easy way out" Or my fav "stop being lazy and just exercise!" (that ones from my older skinny brother hahah) I do excerise, and I am active. Some people are ignorant Well good luck to everyone! Don't let them get you down or break your spirits!

Hello! First of all, my name is jessica, and thank you for taking the time out and reading my post. I haven't been banded yet, but hopefully next year of 08, I will become a fellow banderster!Well, I've been lurking around the board for a couple of weeks and finally have gotten the nerve to ask some questions...I have a few questions, that I don't think have been answered on here before:1) the scar from the surgery, is it permanent? Or after a few years does it go away? Or will it always be there, just not as noticable as before??2)after loosing so much weight in short period of time, does your skin tend to sag? Or is the excesses skin where its noticeable?And my last question3)I'm pretty sure all of have these... well, do the stretch marks ever go away? Or will they always be visiable?I heard that the stretch marks never go away, but you put cocoa butter lotion on them, or get a perscription by a doctor to make them less noticeable??Well thanks soo much! That's were all my questions FOR now lolThanks again everyone!And anyone else who has questions, post them here!

Wow, thank you all for answering my questions and responding back soo quickly! I've come to realize, by reading other posts and topics, that this lapband community is very supportive and postive! And your all so honest, I greatly appricate that Well, I just thought of another question: After your weightloos, does your shoe size happen to go down?? I know for a fact I have a very wide foot, I can fit a 8 or 9 wide, but if the doesn't come in wide I have 2 get a size 10! Anyone else have this problem??

I'm 19, soon to be 20 in january!Its gets frustrating sometimes to hear "oh, you're to young to get this done" and blah blah, but I've struggled with my weight at a very young age.So most likely for my 20th bday, my present to myself is to get the surgery.Its great to know there are young people, some younger than myself here, wanting to get the band done.All of your stories are inspringing to me!Well good luck to everyone! And feel free to messege me or IM online at anytime.Thanks!-jess
