  1. What would you do if you could not fail? Prep the best you can and know it will be great.
  2. Has anyone had plastic surgery? How does this surgery compare in pain to a tummy tuck?
  3. This lady at gvh where I am getting tests for surgery who is 3 times my size goes why so drastic of a surgery for this. I wanted to tell her off.
  4. Is anyone able to share their weight loss by month starting with post op diet for the first year?
  5. During my Pms cycle this week I ate every last bad food I like. Tuesday I am starting a low carb diet on dietstogo.com and hitting the gym hard My surgery will likely be October. I was hoping to drop 40 lbs before my actual surgery between this diet and post op liquid which seems like everyone kinda drops 15-20lbs. My BMW would be 35 and with high blood pressure personal choice would still ok me. I am 5 8 and 264lbs Did anyone else have success dieting 2 mos before? I thought by the time I am bored it will be time for surgery
  6. I had a reduction and am concerned they will be too small. For loose skin my surgeon said weight training. I wil likely be October too for surgery
  7. I have been approved and have my surgeon consult Friday. I have been back and forth sleeve or lap band. Lap band seems simple. No big operation or cutting. I am a size 18 and just want to be a 10. I like curves. 5 8". I hear of food feeling like it is stuck in your chest. Tight feeling on airplane. Makes me not want it. Seems like a constant annoyance I would prefer the ease of the lap band surgery. Can you tell me why you got this instead of sleeve. What worries should I have.
  8. Hello! I was approved by insurance 100% after the info session. I have my first meeting with the surgeon Friday. What can I expect?
