Ok, Stephanie, This Is To Wierd, My Birthday Is April 13 As Well And I Am A Dentist Who Is Also Going To Be Banded By Dr. Fox. I Have Some Questions That I Want To Ask You About The Procedure With Him. What Is The Best Way For Me To Do This? Thanks Losha

i like you tired old man. i am sorry your family views it as a failure. but you know what - the greatest growth comes from failure so out of their opinion will come your success. you hang in there. losha

ok, i don't get this. I am new. why in the world would anyone want to pass judgment on anyone else. we are all just here doing the best we can. i am a girl who has been gossiped about, talked about, bitched about and you know what....i'm still here. my favorite quote is from richard simmons mother. she told him "honey, not everyone is gonna love you. Ya gotta focus on the ones who do!" So, let it roll right off....and anyway karma is a great thing!

ok, so tell answered my question about crunches....400 my gosh! Anyway, i haven't been banded yet and am wondering when can you start doing situps/crunches and if they can contribute to slippage at all. Thanks!

ok, I have read that there is hair loss but i don't understand why. Will someone please explain? Also, does anyone know what percentage of people are affected? This is a pretty significant side effect. I won't look as beautiful as Telly, I can say that!

i am going to be having the procedure in September. it is good to read that so many people feel the same way. what is life when you are to tired to do anything? i don't want to go to my kids games because i am fat and don't have anything to wear, i don't look in mirrors. Basically I am limiting living because of my weight. i do worry about emotional eating which is what i do. i always want that "full" feeling. i worry that i will continue to eat. i am hoping that the lap band makes this difficult by making it so uncomfortable. excercise i can do, i just worry about controlling my mind. is anyone able to tell me if they are still hungry with the band. yes, i know it is a tool not a "miracle cure"

hi, i am going to be banded by dr. fox. i was told that you aren't hungry after the banding. do you find this to be true? also, i am very curious about what a typical eating day is like after banding. anyone mind sharing? thanks!

are you hungry? I havent had my surgery yet but i was told i wouldn't have much appetite after the banding.

hi - you said you eat what you like. i am getting the band soon and understand that the stomach is the size of a golf ball. what is a normal food day like for you now? thanks Losha

i have not had the surgery yet but from what i understand i will be on a liquid diet for 4 weeks after. is this what everyone does? I would think a significant amount of weight would come off during that time.
