Ok, I just got home for the semiar. I am still wanting the lap band. I guess I have some questions still. My doc. told me NO more bread, steak or chicken after the band. I am not sure what to think of it. Will I not be able to eat this stuff. I thought that I was able to eat the things that I use to. I am a little upset after this. I am not sure that to think. I just want to know what others have done about this. Thanks, Hilary:help:

I think that the band is the surgery for me. My husband and I are still doing looking for more info. I am still wanting the band. My husband said the bypass. I am going to do what is right for me. I do have a 2 yr old and she is the most important thing to think about when I have this surgery done. I know that there is less time to recorvy from the band. We want to have another child in the future. We also own a dairy farm so I have to think about that too. Hilary

Thanks for all of the info. I am still unsure about all of this. I know what any sugery there are risks. There seems to be more with the band then I want to deal with. My husband wants me to have the bypass. I am not sure if I want to do that far. I think that is a little too far for me. I have to find more info on all of this. Thanks again, HIlary

HI, I won't be able to go to the support group. I live in wooster, ohio. It is kinda of a drive for me. I will be seeing doc. Myers in Mansfield. He is going to be approved by my insurance after the first of the year. I know that the first of the year is not that far away. What do you have to do in the process before getting the sugery done? Was it kinda of crazy to do. Are you getting the lap band? I do know he offers other sugeries too. I have to do some more studying about this. I think this is what I want. I am very scard about this whole thing. I am sure that it will work out just fine. My husband is a good guy he is a big support. I don't think that I could do this without him. Thanks, Hilary

Hello, I have my first meeting tomorrow night with Fresh Start Bariatrics at Riverside. The meeting is with Dr. Stephan Myers. I don't know what to think. What do they do in a big meeting like this? I have lost my weight and just put is right back on. It has been nothing but a roller coaster for me all of my adult years. I just turned 32 last friday and I am going to do something for my self this year. I want to do this. I am 5'2 and 251 lbs. I have never been so heavy in all of my life. I don't feel well at all. I sleep a lot during the day and my father in law always makes fun of my weight. Yes, I am the only person with this much weight in his family. I hate having to do things with his family. My husband and I have a very good marriage and he says forget it and not worry about it. How can you not. My husband is going with me to this meeting. It is hard to take time off of work. He owns a dairy farm. Of course that is a 24/7 job. We have been plaining thing for sometime. I just hope this is right for me. I am a stay at home mommy. My daughter and my husband are my life. I want to be able to keep up with my 2 year old. I also breed dogs. I sometimes help out on the farm when I feel good and I have to keep our rentals in line. Not an easy job. I do most of it myself. I also do some work on the internet. I guess that I am just very shy. I hope this is a good thing. I don't know. Has anyone been banded by Dr. Myers, and if so how do you like him? Thanks, Flashkatt

I have yet to be banded. My doc. told me NO bread of any kind and steak. I see some of you eating both. I am kinda of sceard. I thought that I can eat anything with the lap band. I have to wait till after the first of the year before I can start the process to have the band.
