With His help

Glad to hear it went well and that you are feeling good so far!!! Let us know how you are doing over the next few days!

Jim - I love the show! I do think it's great that they are showing the participants further down the road. I've yo-yo'd several times after a big loss and that is truly my biggest motivation for choosing the band. I DVR'd all of the episodes and plan to save some of them for after I'm banded. They are truly motivating. Good luck next week - I just started my pre-op diet today, surgery on 1/16. Will look forward to hearing how it goes.

I'm not getting banded until January. But, I just had a stomach virus which brought up the question what if I had already been banded? There was alot of vommiting involved (sorry for TMI) and it really scared me to think about what happens with the band in place. Would it dislodge the band? Cause choking? Has anyone had experience with this? Honestly, I can't remember the last time I was sick like this, so I don't expect it to be a frequent issue, just curious and trying to answer all the questions pre-surgery. Thanks, Stephanie

Remember how Mom always said things would look better in the morning? I think she was right ! There is a natural tendency to slip into fear late at night...I'm encouraged to hear that you are feeling better everyday. I'm not banded yet, so I appreiate you sharing your experience. Good luck!
