  1. What the topic says!

    Did you go off of a pant / dress size?

    A specific weight or BMI?

    Or an ability goal point?

    (to get off of meds / walk up stairs without breathing heavy / shop at a certain store)

    Did some of us not have a goal in mind at all' date=' just to lose weight and do what we can?

    I'm just curious how others came to their decision on goal setting...[/quote']

    My question is; how much does the skin weigh when you have a Tummy Tuck? I have lost 46 lbs and I swear the skin must weigh 3-5 lbs.


  2. Hi' date='

    I had a reduction two years ago and before surgery my doctor asked me if I planned on doing lapband surgery. at that time I was not planning on doing it, he stated to me if I was planning on doing lapband he would wait for me to do the reduction because of weight lose. Now that I have made the choice to do lapband I wonder what size my breast will end up at. Before reduction I was an H, now I am a C. If I had to do it all over again I would wait till after the band to do a reduction.[/quote']

    I did the same thing. I was a 40 dd and now I'm a 38c. I had my Lapband surgery 2 months ago and my husband is the one worried.(lol) when I had my breast reduction 3 yrs ago, I had no intentions of having Lapband. I would wait.


  3. Hello' date=' my name is Diane. I am scheduled for surgery tomorrow morning. A little nervous, a little excited. Things have progressed very quickly from my decision to persue the Lap Band to my pending surgery. I guess I'm lucky in that regard but it all seems a little surreal.[/quote']

    I am sure you will be fine. Mine happened quickly also and I am glad now that it did. Five weeks from my first appt. and I was banded. Take a deep breath and it will over with.
