Hello Folks, Banded on 3/11/11. As of 5/27/11 I'm donw 31 lbs. Ive been doing what Im suppose to do. Eating right and excercising. My 2nd fill was on 5/27/11 and I'm up to 5.5 cc's in my band at this point and OMG I had my first episode this morning at work. I really am terrified of throwing up and just so happens today it finally happned. It was terrible and it wasnt over something bad, all I had was 3 bites of eggs. This lastest fill has got me terrified. Just wanted to share my success and my scares.... Happy Trails everyone!

Hello Fellow Bandsters, I have a few close friends of mine who constantly tell me you shouldnt be getting this surgery. Or why would you want to put a foreign object in your body when you can do the work yourself. Or that there are so many risks involved. You know at times all you want is a word of encourgement. Someone who is routing you on. To tell you its okay. The negative remarks and comments are starting to sway my decision, should I be paying attention to all these people. I mean I know they are looking out for me but at the same time I would have thought they would support my decision. My surgery date is 3/11 and now in my head the decision isnt so set....

My date is 3/11..doctor told me only two days before surgery for cear liquis but I decided to do 5 days...its hard but im doing it..wish me luck"!

hello everyone, im kinda of new to this but i desparately want some more information on this lap band. Here is my dilemna that my BMI is only 42.1. Now i read I have to have co morbidities to have kaiser pay for this surgery. Not sure if i have any. Im not quite sure what that is exactly. How do I go abouts getting tested or diagnosed to see if i have co morbidities. Any advice/assistance/guidance is much appreciated. P.S. anxiousiosly awaiting...
