    I just read about your experiences with the lap band. i had the surgery 9/16/2005. It was good to see some real success. I never feel hunger physically, but my mind always wants to eat. I have lost 84 pounds, which my surgeon says is great, but I feel i could eat less and exercise more to loose it faster, but I cannot get over the mental temptation. certainly, I cannot eat the volume I used to. but i worry that i still eat too much. My Doc will not add fluid to the band as long as I contniue to show good weight loss. I feel like the will is going to break and I'm gonna try to eat a "cow". Have you gone through this? How did you deal with it?

    Tessa, I was wandering around the boards tonight and I came upon one of your posts. I'm from Livermore, work in San Ramon. I will have my surgery later in the month. Do you ever visit the California Message board? http://www.obesityhe lp.com/morbidobesity /state-forums/CA You will find a lot of folks who live near by and they have get togethers fairly often. Pre-ops and post-ops are all welcome. From your profile it sounds like you are doing well. Keep up the good work. -SuzanneS

My Story

I had a slip..and didn't want to tell anyone i was not able to keep food down so I would eat and throw-up and finally it got to a point where my band had slipped to a point on my stomach where it shut it closed completely and I had no fill in my band at the time and I was unable to even drink liquids. I was 97 lbs when I had my band removed. I stayed in the hospital for 10 days and i was almost 120lbs the day i left. if you look at my pics i have one when i was TOO THIN.  Well 8 months later i am back up to 175lbs so I can't do it on my own and now I am wanting VSG. My doc gave me the green light and just wants me to be sure i am ready to do this.
