Gonna Be Banded In March:-)

PCOS is polycystic ovarian syndrome

One of the main treatments for it is weight loss, but the hormones involved make it harder to lose weight. Go figure. It causes infertility too, along with other unfortunate things.

Hi everyone! I am too getting my band on March 21 in Miami. Im am very excited and anxious. Im having second thoughts about the entire thing lol but there is no turning back I guess. I just feel like "what have I gotten myself into?" sorta feeling... But I know is all for the best.

boy.. i know exactly how you feel. im up and down like a yoyo. some times im feeling really guilty because ive allowed myself to get to this... has anyone else suffered from that?? its not good for self esteem. im hoping that feeling will go away completely. i dont need lack of self esteem to get in the way of it all. its quite destructive actually.

Judych, I understand COMPLETELY! I always tell people is a vicious cycle, you eat because you are sad and you are sad because you are overweight (at least for some of us). I think my greatest challenge will be to give up eating out my emotions. All I want is to not be hungry anymore, that I am not physically able to eat so much, and I hope the band will help me with that. They just moved my surgery for the 23 but still im excited.

hi there.. i agree with the comments made here. ive learned just so much. it was really good to be able to sit with the surgeon and know what to ask him. it was very informative and both hubbie and i appreciated that. i think it was because we knew what to ask about. so this forum is first class in my books. also, i know about the eating, hating myself for doing it but finding its the way to comfort myself... lots of reasons that were not healthy reasons to start with, but it happens.

Judy- near the top of the page you should have a group tab. Click on it and you can search for groups. Type in Springers and viola! You're one of us! Glad you want to join! I'll try and message you the li k as well but it's hit and miss doing it from my phone.

Two more weeks 3/21 I will be banded ,I don't know if I will be staying overnight,but after hearing peoples saying they was glad they stayed overnight because they felt comfortable to at least stay one night,I'm going to make sure I stay overnight because I want to make sure I was going to be ok.

I am getting banded March 19/12. In Vancouver, Canada. My husband was a year ago and has lost 70lbs. His success changed my mind about it and I'm tired of losing then gaining. This should be very life changing and I'm excited.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
