O my, you look absolutely fabulous. When I was looking at your pictures I would never have taught it was the same person. You must be very proud of yourself. Congratulations.

Thanks for all the great advice. I think I will have to get to the bottom of eating (emotional) for sure. It is hard to comprehend that after the banding I can still eat what ever I want. I just assumed it would fix everything. I did my research and know it just an aid but I fooled myself into thinking that once I was banded I would start loosing weight very easily. I am so glad I have this forum and everyone is so kind. I am going to Goggle overeater anonymous and start trying to figure things out. Thanks again to all who responded.

I was banded on Oct 13th and did the liquid diet until 1 week ago. For the last week I am back to my old eating habits. I eat until I am stuffed and uncomfortable. Every new day I say I will do better today but keep falling off the wagon. I don't know what to do. I am very depressed and angry with myself. I know its the wrong thing to do, but cant seem to stop my self. Help please. :lb12:

My daughter has and as long as you let them know ... they will get you in and out...... I had them pick us up at the airport . Saves time.... good luck....

thanks for the info

Thanks for the link, it was great and informative

OK so I scheduled my first fill on Dec 3rd. I was banded on Oct 13th. So far I am slow to loose the lbs. I am hoping it will be better with my fill. Heres hoping.

thank you so much for this wonderfully recipe. Today was my first day on cream soups and this was so so good

I glad to hear that someone other than me had pain. I kept thinking I was a woose because like you said no one talked about pain. I was banded on the 13th and still have port pain at times. I do remember meeting Dr. Ortiz and believe me he is every bit as handsome as people say.

Hi all

I was wondering if any one has had their fill and returned home on the same day. I live in Northern California and want to fly in to to OCC early morning and return late afternoon.

Thanks

you go girl!!!!!!!!!!

I just got banded on the 13th and stayed at the Marriott. I was by myself and very nervous. Everything went fantastic from the drivers to the doctors to the nurses to the hotel staff, they could not of been more helpful and professional. You are in great hands and nothing to worry about. I also meat people the morning of surgery at the hotel lobby. Everyone was brilliant. Good luck and best wishes it will be over before you realize it.

Well everyone I am flying this evening to Mexico and having my lap band surgery tomorrow. I am very excited and nervous at the same time. Any last minute advice?

I just tryed emailing the dentist at the OCC and received an email saying it is closed permanently. Any one have any other suggestions on Dentists near there.?

I am new to this forum. I get banded on the 13th and watching your video was so inspiring. You look fabulous. Any doubt about this is now gone. I know there is hope for me. Thanks.

Has any one filed for state disability while recovering from their lap band. Is this even possible??

Thanks :-? Because of my job(losts of heavy lifting) I will have to take about 4 weeks off.

What kind of nursing do you do? I am a nurse and I work in public health so I was back to work by the end of the week and did just fine. However, I would have taken more time off if I was still in hospital nursing.

Good luck!

thanks for the info. I do 12 hr hospital nursing. So I guess I will have to take some time off.

I was wondering how long after people were banded did they return to work?????. I am a nurse and will be getting banded on Oct 13th
