It's lap band not gastric. Thats entirely different, I swear. People who have gastric DO have a very hard time of it. Basically, lap band forces you to eat the small quantities that you really should be eating to begin with. My sister had hers and so did my stepdaughter and both are deliriously happy. And both have said the only pain they had was from the gas they pump in you. It is certainly better than weighing 300 pounds with sleep apnea, needing a new knee and hips and the hyperplasia I have that can very easily turn to cancer. WOW, see me defending myself? Just want you both to know I have been seriously studying this and the people who have had it done. Gastric bypass will never be for more. House cleaned up pretty good. Will repaint the bedroom, living room, dining room and bathroom. It's time anyway. Well, the bathroom is new but the other rooms are ready. We got up to 60 degrees today!! -- Piggy's Pad

In reply to: D 's message, "Mona, I know a few people that have had lap band or (what's the other one called?) and none of them have had an easy go of it. If nothing else it's a major life style change, it doesn't "fix" the reason we over eat. It scares me and like Sandy said, it's still major surgery. Hope you have your mess cleaned up. Where are you going to paint? Was your wallpaper easy to wipe down? I'd just want to cry then leave and not come back till someone had it cleaned!" on 2:04:13 pm, Mon, 01/07/08

We were close to 60 but we chill down again tomorrow with rain. Ramona, I think if I had your mess, I would have called Merry Maids and walked out. No way I could deal with that now. Of course, once they saw what they had to clean, they would have been "not-so-merry maids." (NT) -- Sandy, 2:43:20 pm, Mon, 01/07/08
