Untitled 3 weeks ago

I am brand new at this and seeking information from folks who have had a lap band surgery, pros and cons ~ I have been to the seminar and have the bariatric appt in a couple weeks, hoping to qualify.

It would be helpful to hear stories from others who have been through it, good and bad.

Sincerely
J Bates

Untitled 4 months ago

Hello I am 22 years old and 90 Lbs over weight I got the lap band surgery last july and I have lost 50 pounds very slowly. I want to lose faster. I am ready to be in my goal weight and have a social life. I want a boyfriend! I want to go out and have friends but I have pushed them all away and now Ihave found myself with hardly any friends. I am living in a big city by myself I am very lonely all I can think about it losing weight. Yet I found myself going back to old ways which is eating to make me feel better. I choose healthier foods but does it matter? I eat until it hurts. However I do not do this every day just the bad days like tonight. Where I feel lonely and just need someone to talk to outside my family. This has become more than just my weight, it has taken over my life. I want my social life back….any advice on how to do so please help. I have no confidence anymore even tho I lost 55 pounds, I still look in the mirror and I am unhappy.

Not able to eat much of anything. 7 months ago

I have been having difficulty with my diet. Simply because I can’t eat much of anything without feeling like I have a football stuck in my chest. I am not drinking while eating and I chew my food forever. I am still drinking the protein shakes but the scale is not moving. This is ticking me off.



Big Mistake 9 months ago

I feel like I wasted a whole lot of money and got nothing. I had my surgery on December 20th 08 and have lost 5 pounds. I am always hungry but can only eat a little and am never satisfied. I do not know what to do. I am at my wits end…....
