I'm new to the forum. I'm thinking about having Lap-Band surgery. Right now I'm in the research stage. I've enjoyed reading through this thread tonite though...very interesting. Sort of sounds like a soap opera!

:confused:

Hiya Divamsm, welcome to LBT!

We do try to keep things interesting around here. And sometimes we even succeed. Welcome to the family! And let me hook you up with some other threads and sites about the band that will be helpful.

Surgery Video and Q&A:

This is a recorded Web Cast of a Lap Band surgery. The surgeons provide a lot of basic information and answer a LOT of questions from the viewers. The video shows the placement of the lap band via laparoscopic camera and also shows the positioning and attachment of the port. It's not gory at all, but it is surgery so watch with caution: http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3190472028990485080&q=lap+band

Questions to ask your Dr before getting banded:

Thanks for the heads up Mo. I've put a different addy on there. Should work now.

Holy smokes! Geezer, get off those pills.. pronto!

I'm off of them now. One day off. But my surgeon told me not to expect the side effects to go away immediately.

They beat the stuffing out of having to use a walker and being unable to get up off the toilet...which is where I was two weeks ago. But they DO extract their price.

The manic feeding frenzy thing is irritating, even when I'm sitting here alone.

i'll bring the ice cream, and provide the sprinkler heads, you guys bring the hoses, and we will have a summer party in my backyard. we'll put Rob in a speedo and a apron, and he can bbq us all the most dangerous meats we can come up with. we'll do a whole chew and spit thing for the flavor. but i suggest we just totally put away the ice cream like we were making money doin it. :confused:

Nope, it's the ice cream. It's miracle stuff, I tells ya!!

Congratulations, darling Vines! I hope these five stay away and that many more of their friends follow suit. :hug:

Could it be? The Ice Cream Diet. Why didn't someone tell me this earlier?:bandit
