day of surgery. Still really swollen. I will be posting more soon!

I'm thinking about getting the lap band. Is this a picture of cosmetic surgery you needed as a result of weight loss? What exactly did you have done? I'm so worried about excess skin as a result of the weight loss and the cost of what cosmetic surgery will be.

hi hunnybee.. this is after cosmetic surgery. I would honestly have been happy with extra skin than extra fat. With the extra skin you couldn't see it with clothes on.. I decided to get the cosmetic because I wanted it. I paid for my lapband 18 grand and paid for tummy tuck, breast lift with implants and liposuction which was another 18 grand. I feel it was the best thing I ever did and it was getting the lapband! I wish you lots of luck :thumbup:

Thank you for sharing your story, I am being banded this January and can only hopeto have this type of sucess.

Thanks so much!
