Anyone want to talk about the Lap-Band?

I do not like the way my breasts turned out. I was happier with them before. Most people have great results...I just tend to scar up too bad. I'm not done yet though, so maybe I'll get them to what I want. My PS and I decided to wait until most of my weight is gone before doing anything else. Just make sure you do your homework AND if you think your scars from your band surgery look bad (keloid type scarring), maybe reconsider. I feel like one GIANT scar now. It's worth it on my tummy because it is so easy to cover it up, but the "girls"..........

I love the thought of PS, but we would like to have more kids after I get the green light from my surgeon. PS is so far down the road, it doesn't seem real to me. I'm sure I'll need a TT & BL. My boobs already touch my knees. Not really, but it seems like. Breastfeeding does not do anything positive for your appearance.

Ok, I just ate 1/2 english muffin with ricotta cheese on it. (nutritionist's suggestion) I am not sliming and I can swallow and spit, and a couple of sips of crystal light stays down.

I feel a lot of pressure, its not painful, just pressure. I ate the 1/2 over 20 min and took little bites. Did I eat too much or is it stuck?

Neither, it's too heavy for you. Stick to mushier foods. Your band isn't ready for it yet, give it another week, or even just a few days. Or put the ricoota on a cracker. Did you toast the english muffin? The english muffin is your trouble. That's what I think anyway.

You know what I've been missing? It's been so long since I've heard about Aloe Vera juice. Kathy is the Aloe Queen. Have I missed it? Will have to remember that advice for the newly banded. Did anyone use it? I know I did.
