since i made this post i think i should get some sourta reimbursement! haha... when I had lost 75 lbs in 7 months i wasnt saggy at all.. but i did walk and that was about 8 years ago also. So im hopeing to loose around 150 lbs total to be at goal and im just hopeing im not saggin to my knees,

I am still in pre-op mode but I wanted to know how many people have problems with saggy skin? If you loose a significant amount of weight will you have the saggy skin? I keep hearing this .... "what are you goin to do after you loose weight?... get cosmetic surgery?" Any insight?

Honestly google lap-band and there is ALOT of useful information on WIKI about it. I would be nervouse but for a good cause bc you are goin to change your life. Im nervouse and I still have about 3 months left before i go to surg. Its a lifestyle change and you HAVE to be commited to it. Im still have problems eating right and Im not depending on a miracle surgery to make me change. Dont be scared that yollu die.. as long as you trust your doctor youll be ok. Wiki said the death toll was 1 in 2000 but then if you read the very bottom of the pages theres something about a website reffering paients to doctors that ended in death. So that right there may have made the national average go up.

What and how much are you eating post opt? Daily menus anyone?

I was just wondering what type of insurance did everyone use... if any... and what type of hoopla did you have to go through to have the surgery covered?

I don't even have a more option. Oh well ill figure it out one day.

I know I'm struggling Its never been this hard to loose 10 lbs in my life. I'm 3 month in and I have only lost maybe 7 lbs bc the first month i gained bc I gave up pop cold turkey. I would drink about 2 2liters a day. But its finally time to get really seriouse. BTW How did you guys put your picture in your profile?

Grease fat and candy are mine.. but we had to break up.

Yeah I'm sticking with the protien also. I stay away from anything white.. except for the occasional potato that'll ill cook in the oven sliced like French fries. I'm really excited and can't wait to see myself a year from now. I think after surgery I won't be as hungry all the time so I'm hopeing that'll really help.

Yes we can!

Hey I'm new here. I'm in month 3 of a 9 month medical diet. Due to insurance I have to go through this. I'm having a hard time because I almost feel like this is my farewell to food so I want to eat bad all the time. so I'm glad I found this place so I can read stories to help keep me in check!!!!

You have to fool your body. A great way to do that actually is to change things up. Instead up your calories a bit... maybe 1600 for a couple of days then go back to the 1300 and change up your excersize routine also.
