heather626 0 Posted July 12, 2012 I'm having surgery on August 22. I have been told my a few people that have had the surgery that it does not work and they r right because they lost no weight... Should I be nervous? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lupediva 56 Posted July 12, 2012 It's normal to be nervous. Have Faith in God and you'll be just fine! Good luck! Sent from my DROID RAZR using LapBandTalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DeAna N 229 Posted July 12, 2012 It doesn't work if you don't do the work some people want a quick fix or a magic wand to wave and they are thin but its work no work no results go out to eatwith your unsuccessful friends don't let on just have nice relaxed dinner and take notice to what they eat & how much & you will have your answer as to why they are unsuccessful 1 Tuckersmommy10 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bandedsweety96 3 Posted July 12, 2012 I was very nervous when I went into surgery but it was more about just having a surgery....Those people that have the band and it didn't work its because they wanted a quick fix or probably thought that it would work over night! The band is a TOOL not a Cure! You have to follow the guidelines and be ready to work toward your weightloss!!! Remember that the surgery is to help with the eating part you have to do the work to get the weight off! Best of luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
highland 168 Posted July 12, 2012 IT does work! If your surgeon has given you all the info about what will be expected of you, and you feel you CAN follow the guidelines, IT will work!! Good Luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Britneygirl 65 Posted July 14, 2012 It works as hard as u do. And the loss is slow. But u need this time to adapt to a brand new way of eating. Your stomach will be shaped smaller which forbids u to eat more than a cup of food 1-3 times a day. Think about it real good. It's NOT easy at all. But worth it.

Change4Dee 5 Posted July 14, 2012 I understand. I'm Nervous as well or maybe I am more scared. Im tired of failing when it comes to weight loss. I really want to succeed in this area of my life. Whats scary is seeing people who had surgery and not losing anything at all. I have one more month 2 go before my surgery will be schedule and I am already debating will it all be worth it in the end. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
