I find that research pretty accurate. But, I have seen a lot of people in the health care industry, including my own surgeon who has had lapband surgery, that are obese. I think that it can be anyone in any job.

My surgeon, who flew to Mexico an had surgery by Dr Ortiz on Friday claims to have done an operation on Monday! Good for all you people who can. I enjoyed my couple days of rest!

Sorry for double post

LOL! Sounds like something my surgeon would say!

Congrats, on all NSV's, Karen

Labwalker, that is what my son-in-law says too. I am not like that, I can get restriction anytime. Boyer, you would definitely know if you have a slip. It is not about restriction, or not, it is about not keeping stuff down, and having reflux and GERD at night. Are you losing weight? Are you getting your proper proteins? If not, step up both your proteins and water. Maybe, you need to increase your calories. How many are you eating a day? Probably you should be having about 1000 a day, if not, increase your calories, too. Best wishes. Karen

Probably not. You will have little restriction until you have your 1st fill. Some people can continue to lose weight before their fills but I could not. My son-in-law says he only loses weight after the fil for about 1-2 weeks. Calm down, you are normal! Karen

I have a 10 cc bad and can only tolerate 5.25 cc, I currently have 5.cc and may have the surgeon put that extra .25 in this time when I go, but not sure. I am almost 4 years banded and have lost my 100 lbs, but am slowly gaining some back. I have trouble with not snacking on sliders. :ph34r: Karen

((((hugs))))same here. We both need that kick. Best wishes, Happy Mother's day!

Looking good!

Not this on, thanks! You are the 1st person to wish me Happy Mother's Day, today!

Looking good!Wilona! Congrats on your good start!

Well look at you! woohoo!

Congratulations and keep on walking, gas-x is good too!

You all lasted longer than me when I was in teh "red" zone after having 1/2 cc put in. I can't go over 5.25 cc without feeling uncomfortable. Best wishes to all!karen

That is real soon, I was on liquids for weeks and started pureed around week 4! best wishes!

I am not, but am aware that my surgeon adopts alot of patients, it can happen, but d your research and call for further information. Best wishes!

Looks great, congrats!

Sounds good, haven't tried them yet!

Sounds wonderful,Terry, glad you enjoyed your business lunch.

Congratulations to your NSV's!! and your scale victories, too!

Great advice, lellow! I could not have said it better. Best wishes to everyone who is in the healing stage! My advice for mushy is to put it in a blender to mush it up. chicken is stingy, so had to mush up. But I think if you use teh potted meat/chicken it can be eaten. Be careful for what you eat. You are not supposed to vomit!

I like that too! "Can't dance, too fat to fly!" is one of my husband's favorite sayings! Been saying it for 44 years, and when he 1st said it, he was a fit Marine! Cute!!karen

You look good! Karen
