Hi. I am looking for surgeon in West Houston area. I would like some recommendations. Lap band is what i am interested in.... eager to make appt and get started! my email is [email protected]

SOOO been there. I am on soft moist foods and have been for a week. What a difference chewing makes.Hang in there I finally feel like I am eating somewhat normal things and can eat with my family. Maybe abit motified but I don't feel so alienated anymore.

Hey thanks guys for the support...I did go to the director of the program, the associate dean and the dean of my college and they all apologized but didn't really bat an eye. I am sure they didn't want to implicate her in case I did go to a lawyer. I can't believe her either. She still is talking to my classmates about me, she told my group that I was dismissed from school and then when they let me back in, she told someone she couldn't believe they would work with me because she wouldn't have. She is the worst nurse I have ever known. But at least God has shown me exactly how not to behave. I hope she gets fired, she adds nothing to the clinical experience. Anyhow, how are all of you doing? Feeling any better? I hope so, I think that all of us are so brave for changing our lives like this because Lord knows it is not easy....Thanks again for the support, I truly apprecicate it... Love, Jessica

OK, maybe I'm just being ridiculous... but isn't it against the law for her to do that? I don't blame you for being upset... sounds like this lady needs a good lesson. I'd go to the dean of your school and at least talk to a lawyer. This HAS GOT to be protected under HIPPA somehow... Good luck! Renee

Welcome aboard mate. I 'm glad to hear your're feeling better. I am 4 days post op. I haven't chewed for a week, some days, hours and minutes. I'm good though. When the toughs get going I head to OH, my journal or sew machine. Anyplace but the kitchen. I even cleared all hidden stashes that were in my room. So proud of myself. I gave it to the kids they had a ball. I rationed it all out with directions to share the excess with kids at school. They were excited to do this. Even the high schoolers.
