  1. Have just scheduled for 12/17/07...now going back and forth with myself. Did others do this? Thinking I should give diet and exercise one last try...thinking about foods I won't eat again...then reminding myself that I've been up and down in weight for 15 years despite some great efforts. Any tips on getting through this waiting period? I also don't feel inclined to tell many others about what I'm doing - afraid they will be critical or try to talk me out of it. Husband is okay - "whatever you want," sister just says to weight the risks. Is it possible to do this without sharing info with coworkers, etc? Thanks for any advice. Perhaps it's a mistake to schedule a month out...too much time to think! Going to Aceves in Mexicali, self pay. Also facing choice of Allergan or J & J band...lots to consider. 5'6" 240# Scheduled Dr. Aceves 12/17/07:help:
  2. I have scheduled lapband surgery for December 17. I'm concerned because I just read something to the effect that individuals with a sweet tooth are not likely to be as successful as others using the lapband approach. Would really appreciate hearing others' points of view on this. Am I making a mistake - I do love carbohydrates and sweets - is this likely to sabotage my success? Thanks - M in AZ:help:
  3. Thanks - various responses made me realize these are normal feelings, and I do need to pursue this long term fix rather than my previous temporary weight losses. Onward and upward -

    Swedish Band VS Lap-Band

    Hi, Megan, I am scheduled for lapband surgery in about a month. I need to choose between the J & J band and Inamed. Now that more time has passed, what would your recommendation be? Thanks so much - Mary M
