yup!! almost had my husband turn the darn car around on the way to surg.lol!..this journey is all you gurl..Best journey Ive ever taken..Best of luck..

Awesome!!!!!

Awe gurl!! Its all talk.HATER's!!! I say..you learn to bypass all that negitave stuff. Your going if not already! start to feel and looking good, all that talk it not going to phase you.Just keep on doing what your doing..Best of luck to both of you..Best choice I ever made.Stay Strong!

:eek I'm 7months post op..Ummm I didnt really keep to the 2 weeks pre-op..I did keep it light and sub my breakfeast with a shake..but for my last meal before surg I had a very nice meal!! being that I stuck to the no eating 12hr prior to surg.good thing I ate my surg was pushed back two more hr then scheduled .But after the surg I went by the book and stuck too the plan to the "T". I'm now down 76lbs..and have good restriction.I think the two weeks pre-op is for you to adjust to your meal change so it doesn't come too you as a shock.Soooo,not saying the way I went about it was the right way, but I don't regret it.So be your own judge..Best of luck to you all..

Could say it any better LADIES!!! Bklynike,sandradee! and Loseit..Its just your mind playing tricks on you.Stay strong sweety..

Hi Gabeirlla76, Check out my surgeon Dr Hooman Shabatian on this site under surgeons. Everything went really well and I am really pleased with the work and my results so fare.I was banded March 2010 and have lost 68lb.everything has gone smooth since the surg have had no problems. Well best of luck and keep us posted.

I FACEDBOOKED IT!!! nothing but support from family and friends..Gurl!!! it really sucks that your 1# support that you really need is not there for you. The reason why you still can't seem to tell anyone is because your not getting that ONE support that mean everything to you from your Husband lets hope he comes around and Im sorry but I really dont think that this tool is a Cop-Out..its a tool you still have to watch what you eat you still have to excirsie.I was banded in march 2010 and went in weighing 295 I am only 4.9 and im down to 226 going to the gym everyday 1hr 1/2 workout,eatting the right meals. Before my surg I was going to the gym everyday and thought I was eatting right and the weight was not comming off for years Ive been trying.I am 42 and it dosnt get any easier to drop the weight.How many people do you know that had gone on extrem diet and have drop the weight even on TV you see it and what! and a couple of months go bye and you gain the wieght back double try that every year in five years tripled your wieght back and some.If you beleave in yourself and addmit to yourself that you cant do this alone then everything will fall into place. Yea, your always going to get those few people that will comment and try to prove to you that they dont NEED A TOOL to lose the wieght but hey to each its own..Dido on grigg4's blog.You know what matters the most to me is that IM FEELING HELL-A GOOD!!! and that should be all that matters..I really wish you the best of luck keep us posted.
