New Here

Hello- I'm new to this board and site. I had Lap Band Surgery 9/24/2007. The story is on my page. I'm frustrated due to stomach troubles. I have a fill scheduled next week and hope I can finally start getting restriction!!!!! Take care and have a great weekend. Karen

Hey Karen,
I hope that your stomach troubles are resolved soon! I can't imagine having that much trouble for two years! I hope you're losing weight, at least, if you have to suffer tummy troubles. Best wishes!
Steph

  Welcome.  I hope you post often.  It would be great if this board got active.  I check periodically but it seeems us fortyish peeps prefer to be elsewhere on this site. 

Hello, I am new to the site.  i have just been lurking and reading. I am thinking of having surgery, but haven't quite made the step to get it done. What am I waiting for? I don't know.  I am pretty stressed most days, not working right now and challenges with family going on.  I am trying to get back on track and exercise and drink water, and get enough calories in.  Those are real struggles since I am an emotional starver.  And to force myself to eat can make me sick sometimes.  I know that I have to, so I do. Why do I look as I do then?  I guess I am  looking for some support right now to help  me get started.
