I was banded 2-12 yesterday. Mostly discomfort and gas. They give u med for pain and it works. But you won't be able to drink much so go sloooooow. I still feel like it was worth it. Hope all goes well for you. And get a lapband buddy. It helps! Me and my buddy had it done 1 day apart and we text all day everyday and it helps

Don't feel bad....you have to realize that your band is not yet filled to give you that restriction....remember you had surgery so its swollen where the band is and they slowly fill your band as the swollen gets better. Once you hit what they call your sweet spot and feel full after 1 cup of food...then you will be able to control your portions and feel full....right now...just hang in there and try to eat healthier foods....if you don't lose who cares! Just don't gain any from today on and you will be fine....plus feeling depressed is only gonna make you wanna eat more...the band takes time just be patient...it doesn't work as fast as the gastric bypass and sleeve

Just type skymoon 1982 in search on youtube and her videos pop up. I had discovered her vlogs a while ago and yes they are fabulous! She is great to watch when you need some motivation and if she can do it....so can we

Well I am a patient of Dr. Feiz and my surgery is scheduled for feb 12th. I agree with the Dr...it was actually fun and I befriended the other person I had my consultation with. Plus you also get a 1 on 1 talk with the Dr. afterward and you get to discuss things that pertain personally to your situation. The staff at the Beverly Hills office is great. They actually call me before I even get a chance to call them to keep me in the loop. I got approved within 4 days with my insurance co and everything has been going smoothly and they answer all my questions when I have one. Dr Feiz seemed pretty cool and caring. Maybe the office you went to just has a couple of bad employees I dont really know but that shouldn't affect your oppinion about the Dr. himself. I think he's great and wouldn't go anywhere else. Things go fast with them because they are experienced with the whole process.

I have dieted and lost weight many many times and I have become like a work out expert sorta. Trust me when I say not only is it better support for the knees since we are overweight, but you burn WAY more calories on the eliptical. What I would recommend is do the eliptical and if you feel like you can't finish the time you wanted to....jump on the treadmill and walk the rest of the time...its a good way to build up your stamina

Hey everyone! Well I had my endoscopy Wednesday and they found ulcers. I was completely shocked! I didn't have a hernia thouhg. They put me on meds and I have to take another endoscopy before surgery. Luckily I don't have to reschedule anything....all the Drs say its enough time for ulcers to be healed...just wanted to post this in case anyone else has this problem....all my other tests are schedule for jan 19th so I'm really excited to get everything done

To answer the last person's statements....black entertainment television shows and award shows were created because grammys and oscars at one point were racist and black entertainers were rarely awarded for their talent and tv shows were created because diverse shows were few and rare. Even today....most major movies have white people starring in them, but I will say lately that has been changing and things are more diverse. Also, black people use the n word to make fun of other black people they know...when a white person says it they don't know if you are playing or being racist which is why its best for them not to use it at all...I'm black and I don't use the word but I understand why some use it and why some people should never say it

Its great for women who can't have an orgasm through regular sex because u will 100% without a doubt have one through anal

Okay I was totally freaked out that I would be having a tube down my throat today. They said it would be 30 minutes and it was but there was a 4 hour wait where I went since we all had the same appointment time. Good news is I don't have a hernia...bad news is I have ulcers in my Esophaugus. So I have to take some meds to clear them up, but I plenty of time in between now and my surgery date of February 12th. I wish January would just go away!
