Hi, My name is Susan and I had my band 6 weeks ago and have lost 30 lbs already. I never had any problems eating except I have to remember to eat slowly or I do a lot of burbing. I am so glad I did this!!:thumbup:

I had the same thing happen. I think I lost my weight at the top but not in the hip and thigh area. I think we have to do a lot of exercising for that area to come down. then we can go get new clothes!!

I had several people who told me that I could lose the weight if I ate right and exercised. Problem was I coud not do those things! I even had a "friend" who sent me a newspaper story about someone who died from the lap band surgery. But I noticed that this friend was a very slim girl who was always on a diet because she was 5 lbs over her perfect weight. When you were a size 6 dress, I guess that is a big thing. Well, I was a 26 and after I had my band (Feb. 26, 2008) I am now a size 20 ( lost 32lbs). Tell your "friends" to worry about themselves and you worry about how your goind to live your life when you are thinner!!
