NO...IT WONT DO ANY DAMAGE TO THE BAND IF KEPT TO A MINIMUM......TRY TO TAKE SMALL DRAWS TO LIMIT THE COUGH. SMOKE ON!!!

I HAVE BEEN SMOKING POT DAILY SINCE DAY ONE OF MY SURGERY. I HAVE BEEN BANDED ON JAN 3 2008 AND LOST 18LBS SO FAR. I SMOKE BEFORE dinner AND IT WORKS OUT GREAT. I GET FULL EASILY AND ENJOY THE RELAX IT GIVES ME. SMOKE UP...THATS ALL I HAVE TO SAY.

I ALSO sleep ON MY STOMACH....MY DOCTOR TOLD ME THAT THERE IS NO PROBLEM WHATSOEVER. I HAD MY LAP BAND PUT IN ON JAN 3 2008. SO DONT WORRY.........:smile:

I JUST GOT BANDED ON JAN 3. I HAVE TOLD NOBODY EXCEPT MY WIFE. I REALLY DONT WANT PEOPLE TO KNOW. IF I HAD YOUR PROBLEM, I WOULD BE HAPPY . MY IDEA WITH THE BAND IS TO NOT STAND OUT THAT MUCH AND LET THINGS FLOW. I HAVE ALREADY LOST 18LBS IN LESS THAN A MONTH. I FEEL HAPPY WITH MY DECISION, EVENTHOUGH I HAD A BMI OF 32.8 WHICH MEANS THAT I AM NOT THAT FAT TO BEGIN WITH SO PEOPLE WOULD REALLY CRITISIZE ME FOR DOING WHAT I DID, BUT I COULDNT STAND BEING FAT , SO I MADE THE DRASTIC DECISION. DONT WORRY ABOUT WHAT PEOPLE ARE NOT SAYING. IN TME YOU WILL BE THE TALK OF THE TOWN. YOUR FRIEND WILL NOT BE THIN FOR LIFE UNLESS SHE WORKS OUT THE REST OF HER LIFE , YOU WILL. THINK OF IT AS PERMANENT WEIGHT LOSS VERSUS TRANSITORY WEIGHT LOSS. GOOD LUCK THATS THE MAIN THING THAT COUNTS

HELLO, I HAD MY SURGEY ON JAN 3 2008. I DIDNT EVEN DO A PRE OP DIET. ALL I HAD TO DO WAS NOT EAT THE NIGHT BEFORE THE SURGERY. THE DOCTOR WILL NOT BE ABLE TO TELL. NOT TO SAY THAT THE PRE OP DIET IS NOT NECESSARY, BUT I MADE A QUICK DECISION TO GET BANDED AND NOW I HAVE LOST 18 LBS IN A MONTH. DONT WORRY ABOUT THE FRIES.....EAT MORE IF YOU WANT AND NOTHING WILL HAPPEN. I GAINED 4 POUNDS THE WEEK BEFORE MY OPERATION FROM MY FAIRWELL MASSIVE EATING. BUT NOW, IM A NEW MAN WITH NEW DEVELOPING HABITS AND LOTS OF MOTIVATION. GOOD LUCK , AND DONT SWEAT IT.:smile:
