i was told to wait 6 weeks!

ok this was the best tread I have ever read!! It was very educational. I myself have to pass on the anal sex. I don't think i can even wrap my brain around it. My husband is very well endowed and i was afraid to have regular sex with him when i saw it... so to have that in my rear... OH DEAR... HELL NO! I don't have anything against it, but it's just too scary a thought for me. More power to you gals who love it!! amy

lmao... that got my attention!!! i feel your pain... it'll be over before you know it. i can;t beleive im 4 weeks out already! it was the fastest month EVER!!! good luck and keep me posted on your progress!! amy

I wish u lots and lots of luck! I really hope this time around you reach your goal! I know you can do it! good luck! amy

I think that if you asked your husband not to do something and he does whatever it is ive asked him not to do then he has disrespected you as a wife. it doesn't matter if it has to do with porn or anything else for that matter.. id be mad for the deception and sneakiness. I hope all is well now for u! good luck amy

hey if i can drink chocolate milk every day without feeling guilty, i'll exercise!! LOL yummm

i like sebastian, but i don't like emory for a middle name. good luck!!

congratulations! I was amazed by your transformation!! good luck with any and everything u choose to do in the future! amy

hi lapbandgirl, it may be a few days... take a stool softener 2x's a day until regular... that is what the hospital gave me, and it worked like a charm without any pain and straining. good luck amy

awww.. you figured me out.. you're mine all mine LOL ( my husband may object)

oops sorry!! lol not trying to cramp ur style

I think maybe i could!!!

I thought u were married?

maybe a newbie will win???!!!

i agree with you missy. These are very trying times right now. I can't imagin having had no health insurance to help me get my band. I feel for those people who don't have the means or the insurance or whatever and not be able to have the oportunity to get control of their health. If i were them id probably vent too. I realize too that in this economy anyone could be hit and lose insurance or a job. its very scary and people need to be able to go where they feel safe and say whats on their minds. im glad that LBT is here to be an outlet for people. amy

i eat carbs, just a small amount. I even have ice cream on occation. i have lost consistenly even without a fill. I get one at my post op on may 6. good luck! amy

definitly call your doc about the incisions!

hi i totally feel your pain! it took me three weeks before I could lay on my side (I slept in my recliner) it was a long three weeks, but it does get better. now i can sleep on my side and my tummy without any discomfort. good luck and hang in there! amy

hi im amy and i am 5' tall and was 203 when i was banded on march 20th.(my highest was 209) I too felt like the smallest one in the room when i went for my seminars... but i too have all sorts of health issues and am so thankful for this tool that is going to help me change my life forever. Im down a total of 21lbs and 15 since surg! I still have a little less than 70 to go. good luck to all of us for continued sucess!!! amy

you could just say that your stomache is out of sorts, not feeling too good... good luck amy

hi i was banded on march 20th of this year and i was told that I would not get a fill for 6 weeks post op. each doctor is different. I am sorry u are feeling ao frustrated. just know that many people gain when they start adding food to their diet, so if ur losing anything that is an extra bonus. Ive been told time and time again that this is the healing phase and any weight loss is awsome. Just stay focused on healing. good luck amy

congrats!! I think everyone is different and im glad you found what works for you, and i think im on my way too!! good luck and continued sucess!!! amy P.S. don't listen to all the negative shit, people are jelous bc they're not getting ur results!

hi, i did go to the support groups before i was banded, but not since. I think maybe bandsters go to get questions answered? i really don't know, i do know that they have support groups just for people already banded. im not sure when the next support group meeting is, you can call the office they have all the dates and where they are. did u choose a doc yet? amy

i have cigna, and they made me wait 6 months to lose weight with a plan ie.. my doc put me on a diet and i had to weigh in once a month for 6 months. I barely lost anything, and i too had co morbidities. they finally aproved me and i was banded on march 20th of this year. with cigna, u have to jump through their hoops, be persistent and you'll get approved. they are total pains in the butt! good luck, you'll be approved, just stick with nagging them! amy
