I am sure I want this lap band but by surprise I am only concerned about the port scar. How do you guys really feel about the scar? Is it worth the weight loss?

I'm six months banded the only visible scar I have now is the larger port one but that's just a faint line now and seems to be fading more and more. I'd rather a scar than the size I was.

Very good point! Ladies!!!! I wouldn't mind a battle scar. Besides I just want to feel good for myself. I don't plan on modeling or showing my stomach at all anyways

Honestly who cares about a scar? No one sees your belly unless you show them, but your fat is visible to all. The scar was the least of my concerns.

My scar is only about 2 inches but I would have been fine with a foot long scar. Anything is better than looking at all of my extra rolls and back fat. I had 2 c sections and that "port" scar doesn't even faze me. And don't worry, it will fade over time. :-)

That's very true. I don't plan on revealing the scar to the world anyways but yes everyone does see the fat girl in the pics and walking down the hall. I guess unless they have x-ray vision who cares. Screw the scar I'm doing it.

My tiny scar is a constant reminder that I'm never going back to being 248 lbs. I will take the battle scar any day!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
