Not too sure who you are asking here but ill chime in with what and how i researched for 3 years... 1.) ObesityHelp.com 2.) LapBandTalk.com 3.) About 1000 books 4.) Google 5.) Went to support group meetings every week for about 6 months 5.) Have friends who have had the surgery. So I def did my research. My doctor is sick of my questions lol

Well I will be one of the few people that will completely agree with you, I researched and reseached for over 3 years on the Lap Band...NOTHING prepared me for what i am going through right now...I am 5 weeks post op and i want to eat my hand. I am eating all of the right foods Im not cheating im working out and i have gained 3 lbs. I think im more hungry now then i was before i had the surgery lol. I lost 23lbs the first 3 weeks, and i too thought "damn this is great!! Im not hungry" Boy when that swelling went down was i surprised, I thought something was wrong so I posted on OH.com They too told me that i didnt fully research the Lap Band and that i came into this with false expectations. Lets just say i dont go on that forum anymore. I completely dont approve with people giving you $hitty as$ remarks over a simple question. I just wanted to tell you that you are not alone and we are def going through this together, I too wish i was told about this hell before surgery.

Im doing good, I was banded on 3/17 Im down 23lbs since then. I havent lost any weight this week, but from what i've heard thats to be expected. I have my first fill on May 8th. -J DOS/Current/Goal 277/254/140

What do you guys do for exorcize? I'm going to be able to work out again may 1st. I want this weight to come off fast. I had my surgery on 3/17/09 and im down 23lbs so far, I want to kick that up once im allowed to work out again. -J

I am from RI. I am going to be banded by Dr. Dean Roye. I am currently going through the Pre Op testing. I just had my Psych Exam this weekend i have my nutrition evaluation. Has anyone been banded by Dr. Roye? My question is how soon after you have completed Pre op testing do you actually get banded? Thanks,
