  1. Happy 51st Birthday CHER123!

  2. Happy 50th Birthday CHER123!

  3. I am just waiting for my surgery date ( am recovering from a cold first). It should be within the next 3 weeks.. I have completed all the things my surgeon requires, support classes, education class, exercise class and mental evaluation. I guess as the time gets closer I am a bit nervous if I am making the right decision. I have talked to several people who have had meger results. At one of the support groups a woman reported that she lost 24lbs in the first month, after going to the education class I found out that your first adjustment is not till 4-6 weeks after surgery so her loss was more due to her diet than the assistance of the band. I spoke to one woman yesterday who swears she has done everything she is suppose to do and has lost only 4lbs since Dec and expressed her feelings that she is always starving and could have done that to herself and kept her 15K dollars. I asked her why she felt it was not working for her and she said neither her nor her doctor could coe up with an explanation. I guess I just want to hear from more people who have been through it and how you feel it actually helps you, how it compares to dieting or why it may not work for some? Thanks!!
