Magnifi8

I'm 5'9 so I have big honking feet as it is. I started having to wear an 11, now...almost 50lbs down...I can wear a 10W or a 10R. I don't think I'll go down much smaller than that. Even when I weighed 155lbs back in the day I was a size 10. My dad always used to tell me I could just wear the boxes from his new shoes...nice guy.

I have Anthem also. I live in Alabama. No 6 month diet plan. I called customer service and got all the requirements before I ever went to my surgeon so I knew I had to pay 20%, psych eval once I got all that done I gt approval 6 days later. Good Luck!!

Hello future bandesters.today is my last day for the liquid diet.tomorrow is the big day im so excited...

Reading all of the others experiences are eye-opening........lots not reflected in the "studies"--professional and peer reviewed journals. Each person here really has to decide upon the "truth" and best decision for themselves based upon the various bias's and personal interpretations of experiences.
What I totally dislike is the sniping and belittling of each other with differing opinions. I went to another forum, and didn't find it much different.........what makes people so all-knowing and mean on forums just because they are relatively anonymous?

i worry about it i got banded before i had my baby, she's almost 2 now. so i'm starting to lose the weight again...and i look at my flabby arms and heck you can spot a former fat girl a mile a way (a size 5 with saggy/jiggly triceps)
i feel that i'm being selfish and i need to think about her. i'm sure theres other ways we can die, but it just truly bothers me, and i'm still not sure what i'm going to do when the time comes to decide, i love her so much.
i probably need some antidepressants now just after writing 4 lines, geeze.
good luck with your decision

200 lbs gone in 2 years. No, the band doesn't work. I work the band.
