No one insults my race period ! None of these bullies on this site ! Serious are you kidding me ? Most of these people on this site are nuts I want nothing to do with these fat fuckin bullies

Get off the fuckin computer and go get some d**k up your ass !

Thanks for sharing it looks scary now I know what I look forward too ! Lol

So what you all are saying if you do something everyone doesnt like or post something. its ok for them to call you out and use you race in the title? ..wow smh

More so to the person who made the thread..pointing out someones race in a post, I find very disrespectful.

You girls are being mean..and attacking her..what she did was wrong, if she did do it. but I doubt she did cause my sister works is in insurancw n said they check to make sure the doc is legitimate. .maybe her insurancw takes lettwr frok doctors out of the country..this site is to show support not to attack someone. .

I can understand if she wants to cover up her surgery with that pill its no biggie because she isn't hurting anyone and she is only fooling herself . But to lie to people. And she was most likely vulnerable just like everyone who just wants a quick fix. Why doesn't she just say the truth I had this surgery and when i couldn't lose that extra 3 lbs this pill helped me.
She is not a friend. I would be ashamed to do something like that. I feel like there are a lot of people out there like her and we will never know.
I remember saying things like why this person lost the weight and i couldn't. I would call her surgeon lol not to be mean but that's fraud and probably illegal.
Please don't trust this friend because if she's doing this to strangers imagine what she would do to you.

She did it about a year and a half ago and she looks fabulous. I am so happy she made this decision and that she has found so much more happiness in her body, her relationships and her job (which is a bit more physical than most).
Very few people know about her procedure which I totally understand. I told my closest friends, my parents and my kids (that includes my husband). I feel no need to tell anyone else right now because I don't want people asking me questions about my journey on a daily basis. I know I will spill it eventually, but not until I am ready.
What's my problem? She has started selling some sort of Vitamin weight loss crap and she is 100% crediting her success to her new venture. She is showing her before and after pictures all over the place and has people convinced that if they buy her weight loss stuff, they will have her results. Meanwhile, she is eating 1-2 oz of real food and has lost over 150 pounds because of RNY. I know it's none of my business and I will NOT bust her out on FB as I am tempted to do, but I am so mad.
I did kindly confront her about it, and she claims that she only lost 20 pounds due to her RNY. She was over 300, she is about 145 now, a year and a few months later. She claims she hit a 6 month stall (bullsheet), started this stuff and the pounds melted away. It's a scam and she is taking people's money. ARGH!!!

Yes, I had surgery on 2/19 and have lost 65lbs so far.

Hello Everyone,
I'm new to the site, I was a member of the Lapband forum, after doing research and being able to ask questions I decided to go with the sleeve. I'm excited about the new journey that I am about to begin and happy to have a site such as this to help guide me...

We are in the same boat , I already had the stress test , I didn't have the sleep apnea ! I hope for a July surgery as well ! Hopefully first week of July for me

Am I the only person addicted to this site?! LOL It's so motivating!!! All of my pre-op requirements will be completed by next week (minus my cardiology consult)!! The next appointment with my surgeon is 6/7! Hoping for a July date!!! Yay! I couldn't have done it w/o this app & posts/guidance from its members!

Sleeved last September at 51 & feel the best I've ever felt. My 21 year old daughter can't keep up with me. 91 pounds gone, walk 2 miles a day, take Pilates twice a week & starting Zumba on Monday! Oh & I'm going to be a grandmother next month. - so we are NEVER too old to get healthy! I was lucky I could walk down the block without stopping to catch my breath. Best decision ever!

Looking Ahead
hey there, so sorry you have been going through these hard times. as they say nobody promised you a "rose garden".
you are still only a virgin at 5 days out. Things will improve.
People of any age go through these similar problems. They could be 20 or 41 or my age of 59. I don't think age matters, no one age has the corner on hurting pains. Now with that being said...... lets talk about YOU
Walking w/such difficulty, holding your bandage in pain - just feeling awful is so hard, must make you feel so bad.
Do you have anyone around you that can help in any way, even there to hold your hand and listen to you.
Could someone come and be with you for a while til you feel alittle better? give you support
if no one lives around you, you can always reach out to us on the board,. we don't bite
but, the phone cord reaches all sorts of family/friends all over the word as if they were next door. Its not the same as being in the next room,, they are still there to listen to you and help you,
Many people are in a bad way, especially those first few days, but it will pass. You will feel better and get on that road to success with a long journey ahead to health and happiness for the rest of your life and yes loosing weight helps you feel much better.
this long journey will make you feel so much healthier and better
FYI i've gotten off my diabetes medicine after 20 years! - and my blood pressure meds are gone. too.
You will feel so much healthier, its amazing what losing weight can do.
I'm trying to say that all this terrible pains will not be in vein what ever physical ailments you have, things will turn around for you.
5 days turns into 6 days turning into 7 days, etc. etc. etc. You will feel better and stronger every day.
please take it slowly with a deep breath, things will get better sooner than later
take care
feel bettter
kathy

Tada!!

Sleeved on 9/11/12
Starting weight: 294
Current weight: 191

There is already a huge long thread dedicated to before and afters.. but it is such a fun topic I don't mind repeating!!
This is what losing 150 pounds does for you! A girlfriend of mine said the sweetest thing "I didn't know you had a teenage daughter"...LOL. I do feel like I look younger being trimmer.
Taken within the last few weeks

This was taken in December i believe - I think I was 20# away from goal,back when I was a bit curvier. I was feeling pretty good, but, I like how I look better now even if my T&A disappeared since this photo was taken.

This is my before picture at over 300#. I don't have much to say about it but I KEEP looking at my befores to remind myself how far I have come.
