I waited about 2 months. My drink of choice is Crystal Light and vodka! Low calories and now after losing 100lbs, I'm quite the lightweight, lol.

I hated looking at myself in the mirror and that I was ugly. I was just fat.

Frank, I think that's a perfect response, lol!!!!

That happened with my Tummy Tuck too! Who knew that losing 100lbs, having 2 kids would result in not having the muscles separated. My surgeon said I really lucked out.

To Aguafria6. Are you really telling me that your brother in law would want your sister to do things the "hard" way? Is this not some sort of spousal abuse? And what century are they living in that he thinks it is up to him? Your sister has a few issues to sort out!

My sister in law said this to me in a roundabout way. I was pissed. (Back story-she is 230lbs and was my weight when I got my Lapband) fast forward 2 & a half yrs, lost 100lbs and I'm at my goal weight. She complimented me on how I looked and said that she didn't think think her husband would want her to have it done "because it was the easy way to do it".
Oh I kind of went off but not too bad, lol. I was literally shocked when she said it and said how in the world would losing 100lbs be easy, ever??" Fuck that, lol! Honestly, I think there is jealousy there. Haters are gonna hate.

But I'm really surprised by all the pro wls comments it provoked. I feel really supported. LOVE it.

I do see a therapist shel. I have no problem with people who don't know me when I was heavy. I enjoy the normalcy as much as anyone else. It's the folks who knew me before and just don't recognize me at all now that makes me uncomfortable. And Jim...I am very happy and healthy. I just think I need this part of the process overwith.

I voted other. I think it's a combo of "he's doing great" and "it's too soon to tell".
Have you watched the show on TLC called "My 600lb Life"?
Christie wasn't quite that heavy but kind of close. As we all know, weight loss and maintaining is a life long process. I hope that he continues in his success!
I would like to see some of his before and after pics. The ones that I have seen doesn't look like he's lost 100lbs but I didn't search that hard. I hope he's not lying like a politician

New Jersey Governor Chris Christie quietly had lap-band surgery in February of 2013. As you can read in this month’s BariatricPal newsletter, recent political events have made the topic resurface, highlighting his 100-pound loss and his current weight of 320 pounds. What do you think about the issue?
He failed because his BMI of 45 keeps him in the morbidly obese category. He is doing great because of his 100-pound weight loss in a year. It’s too soon to tell. He’ll fail if he doesn’t lose any more weight or gains it back, but the surgery will be a success if he keeps losing weight. I really can’t give an opinion – I do not know anything about him or his diet, and I would not want people to judge me if they didn’t know me. Other – Read my answer in the discussion!

For me it was the face, then boobs, stomach, thighs and butt! When I was first banded my bra size was a 42 or 44 DD. I went to the store Intimacy and got a real bra fitting for the first time. I'm now a 32D. I will never have to get a Lane Bryant bra again!
