  1. Well i posted on here a couple of months ago asking for advice about the band. After talking to my parents about it for a while they decided they dont want me to do it. They never really gave me a reason why so now im trying to doing a diet and exorcize on my own. I'm almost prepared to fail ( even thought today is the first day) but i guess i just have to be optimistic and take it one step at a time and day to day. But i'd like to thank the people on here who gave me their advice about the band and the support you guys gave me about talking to my parents about it. >
  2. ok so i have another question but i kinda have to tell u the story first. Well last saturday i went to a party and got a little too tipsy and kinda fell and pulled some tendons in my foot. well i went to urgent care yesterday(tuesday) and they had to take my blood pressure, oh joy...(dont u love my sarcasm?) well i guess it was that bad my mom was freaking out and since i told her about the band she told me she was calling my doctor sometime soon to see if i can get it. but the question is, can i get it done even with this injury because it takes up to 6 weeks to heal maybe because its more like a home care thing and has to heal on its own. c
  3. lol i just saw that video of the surgery, totally giving me second thoughts about the band. the incisions were kinda big and when she went for her fill....oh god. me+needles= NOT GOOD but im still kinda nervous about talkin to dad but i think ill talk to him tomorrow...i hope it goes well
  4. i dont really know about going to mexico though because i have to take a class july 7th and if i get it done my class doesnt end till the 25th. right now my mom said i can get it but i have to talk to my dad. it was hard enough talkin to my mom about it, but my dad....oh geeze.
  5. well i guess my insurance covers my band but why do you have to be 18 in the states? I'm sure they'll make exceptions if your doctor tells them you really need it....right?
  6. thanks guys. I talked to my mom today, she seemed a little more interested but still hesitant at the time. I think I'm just more worried about my dad than anything. But i told my mom that i was talking to you guys and how your answering my questions and how helpful you guys have been. I'm so happy i met(well not literally) you guys and for the first time it feels like someone understands. THANK YOU!!!!!!
  7. thanks so much guys! and Evette I'm so happy for you! :-) Everyone here is talking about Dr. Ortiz, is that who most people have got there band surgery from? I don't think my parents would even dare to fly out to mexico just for for the band. But i guess where i live, OSU Medical Center does it and they were one of the first to start giving the band surgery's. And thanks Amber and Cheryl for the compliment, both or you are also GORGEOUS!!!!!
  8. thanks guys for the info u have been giving me! i really appreciate it i talked to my parents about getting it last week and they said if thats what i really want to do then they will let me do it, but now my mom kinda changed her whole perspective on it and i don't think she wants me to do it, at least thats what it seems like because she doesn't seem to interested about it if i talk about the band which makes me nervous talking about it to my parents. She said " well u know u can only eat like a half a cup of food right?" and i just thought i dont care. its totally worth it, im just sick of being like this and trying to lose weight before and no results. They just told me " well you cant diet for 3 days and expect something to come out of it." and i know that, i mean i dieted for a month and i only lost a total of 5lbs working my butt off. i dont think they really understand. But I'm kind of a picky eater ( as if u could tell right? lol) so when i was on my diet i ate the same thing EVERY night, and that included: baked chicken, 1/4 cup of white steamed rice and 4 carrots. i dont know, i just feel really awkward talking to them about it...
  9. Hey, my name is Danielle and i was wondering if i could get some advice on the lap band so I'm going to give you my story. I've been overweight all of my life ever since i was about 3 or so. Now I'm 16 going on 17 in a month I'm 5'8" and i weight 326lbs. I have always hated the way i looked but it hadn't hit me till middle school until i started getting teased a lot that i was over weight. Two years ago i was told by my doctor to go to Children's Hospital to get my heart checked out, blood pressure, ect. After that day they made me realized i could have a heart attack at anytime and only at 16. A month after that my friend and i decided to come up with a work out plan and a diet which seemed great at the time but to my surprise it only lasted a month. I worked out everyday starting out walking the track at a school close to my house and eating very small meals. After three weeks of trying so hard to shed some pounds i couldnt see any results, therefore i tried to push my self even harder giving my self asthma attacks regularly whenever i went to the track. As soon as i realized nothing was happening i gave up and gained any weight i had lost plus some. Because of my weight i haven't had a boyfriend, had dates to homecoming and any other dances and having someone tell me they haven't liked me because I'm fat really shot down my self esteem. I've done research about the Lap Band but it said you have to be at least 18 to get it done and I've tried dieting countless times and nothing seems to have worked for me. Almost everyone in my family is big and i don't want them to think I'm taking the "easy way" out. I understand you have to work really hard with it but i dont know if i should get it done. I would really appreciate it if you could give me any advice you have. -Danielle
