Hi Erica....so nice to find bandsters in my area, I live in Edinburg and had my surgery done in December, have lost over 90 lbs total...it feels great! Don't regret my decision at all. I had my surgery done in Monterrey, had a wonderful surgeon and wonderful hospital. Hoping to go back sometime soon for another fill. feel free to contact me if you have any questions or need any support

Hello there. I was wondering if you all were still there? I live in South Padre and just had my LAP-BAND® done in Monterrey on December 4th. Is there a local support group nearby? I have lots of ??. I am starting my 4th week and have lost 32 lbs so far. I am not hungry and have not really eaten whatever I was allowed. I have been drinking lots and lots of water and am making sure I take my protein and vitamins everyday. Just wondering if anyone else felt the same? Hope to hear from a local bandster.

Well its getting close to surgery again, and there i go again getting super scared. I 've never been put under and its freaking me out. Also i have a 18 month old at home, and I am a stay at home mom but also a student online and this coming semesger i have a class on campus. My surgert date i hope is the 14th of this month and classes start the 16th.
Im SO ready to lose this fat man. I want to know, life after being banded... are you normal? do you feel normal? do you have a sad feeling knowing it is in there?
idk im scared to not have a normal life because of the band. I know eating is different but do you feel like the same person mentally?
