Ànd congrats cherie! How are u healing? And have u had any restriction at all?

Congrats on being able to say u can try on a bikini lol so its a definite that ill have excess skin?

Did they your sisters have a problem with excess skin or no?

I am going to be banned on September 13th!! (in NY) im so excited but i am also nervous. I am only 18 years old and keep thinking of small "what ifs" too. I am mainly concerned about excess skin.. Is anyone else worried about that? I am also concerned on the fills. I have read that some people are not successful after their first fill.. and some people arent successful until their first fill. I dont know, maybe thats just some people. I start my liquid diet on August 30th, i am kind of nervous for that too.

thank you so much and congrats on almost reaching your goal!!

I am getting banded on september 13th! i have one main concern. i do not want to have plastic surgery so i am wondering how much exercise [weekly] is needed so that the excess skin comes off. i am 18 years old and weigh 305. please let me know what you think!

Thank you so much for the tips! I appreciate it greatly. When did you have your surgery? And how is it going for you?

I am 18 years old and will be getting the lap band surgery on september 13th,2011! it has been a year since i started this process. I am new to this site so I would love to hear your stories and such. I weight 305 and plan on reaching 125. I know it is a big goal but I am determined. I am concerned about the fills. How do they work? What determines when you need a fill? I have to do a liquid diet starting august 30th. Any helpful ideas for that?
