New Band

[Florida 0]

Just got my band on the 24th. My understanding is that a year or so down the road things get better, the more I read the more unsure I get do you ever get used to it??!!

In what way? I'm a little lost, so therefore can't answer intelligently.

Hey,

Actually I am fine, a little hungry. I have been reading on some sites that some people that are a year or more into this have problems with food getting stuck, choking, irritations. I would think you would be somewhat used to it a year or so down the road. I know it is a total life change but, I don't think I want to spend the rest of my life worried about choking and getting things stuck. I hope I am totally of base!!??

Good Lord....WHERE on earth are u reading this stuff...I personally know people who are 3-6 mos. out of surgery and they are GREAT....I am only since Sept. 15...but no probs, exxcept when I let myself get too hungry, and GOBBLE, and the is MY FAULT.......the band is only doing what it is supposed to do! SO far...I love it....am back to doing all I used to do.....WHAT exactly problems r u having........little secret........some posts everywhere U just do NOT want to read...I call tham the whiners and they can get u down and scared.....Some days I stay away from all sites, just to take a break, but ther is mostly positive here................there are some probs. w/ evey medical procedure out there if u look hard enough, I know, My husband is a Doc ..........U go out there, follow the rules and enjoy being slim and happy!
