i was banded on 6/2 also...im just starting to feel like my normal self again!!! best of luck!!

i felt the exact same way i even told the doctor i wanted it reversed!! it really is a day to day struggle but as the days go by it get easier!!!! Best of luck to you

so b4 all of u ..go wtf is this woman crazy...hear me out.. before i had this surgery i didnt realize that i had an addiction to food. The day i came homed from the hospital was the day reality set in. as i sit and watch my family eat dominos i cant help but to take a bite..then another then another..no im 1 week post op(-9lbs) eating turkey sandwhices drinking soda...doing everything all wrong.. i made an appointment to see my psychologist on monday.. i talked to my surgeon about taking it out..he said wait..im like by then the band could be obsturcted. this really is a life change its not magic.. and i made the decision so fast i didnt weigh the con's only the pro's. So the moral of the story is i made up my mind i want the band removed:frown:. My next Blog will be my last one...Thanks 4 All The Support LBT!!!:thumbup:
