it did hurt more than i expected everyones lap band experience is different let the nurse do it not the doc. nurses at nyu were less painful to me

wild dogs wow what a post would rodents be a better fate???

my advice is dont do it diving into debt will increase your stress level which can increase your hunger sabatoge any effort to lose weight the lapband is only a tool not a cure try losing without the band worth 1 more sincere effort.Lots of us are in lapband hell can't eat much and not losing weight still MUST change poor eating habits try try again save you money sincerely, dr. stan

if you cannot control your blood sugar ,yes, diabetes controlled as of now band useful cannot pig out still hungry but will not eat too much learning to chew, chew, chew more have to have good teeth and jaw muscles

fills take about 30 secs saline and needles are cheap 4.00 dollars seems like way too much

is it legal to downward dog in a restaurant in nyc??

Your post really hit home I was banded 3/08 and had similar considerations 9 months later I still have same thoughts however my Internist said I have never been healthier my BP is stabilized blood sugar normal lipids best ever Still hungry at times, need to get this fill thing corrected,, a key to this procedure ,lost 20 of my 35 lb goal I know I will not pigout today, I cannot, that is the key benefit to will I live longer?, probably, who knows??? I would do it again however your life will change a trade off this eating malady is always a tradeoff. You will still be able to go out and enjoy food small bites and chew chew chew. good Luck

How do you know when you need a fill???

after i fill on a Sat, couldn't keep anything down called thurs a.m. they saw me at 4pm took out some saline felt better immediately they are great highly recommend this group

try a fill prepare to adjust tighten her up and see what happens

chew chew and chew again cut food into very small pieces if it doesnt melt in your mouth expect some reflux will force you to eat slowly no conversation during dinner

see how you feel Sun. Go for a walk and decide

they dont care about your body busy monitoring your physical condition bp heartrate etc yhey know you must have been a beautiful baby etc.!!
