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
