I see that some ladies wore spanx.. What style did you get to help you out in the tummy area after surgery?

I agree with the others. I too was told to get the bypass but after doing alot of research on the bypass I decided I didnt want to go to the extreme of having my intenses scrabbled around to make it all work. Also after having many issues with the lapband Ie: what you can and can not eat and not being able to swallow pills or other foods I decided to make the best choice for me. What would be the safest route for me to take where the food I ate acutally worked for my body. Malabsorption was also a big factor too. I did have to have major testing done to make sure I didnt have acid reflux and once that was cleared I was okayed to get the sleeve.Glad to hear you are getting a second opinion

My heart goes out to ya, I cant have my little one hug me because her little arms hit me at the port sight and then the pain is so bad It feels like someone punched me there.. Ya know the pain that almost makes ya have to pee.. She learned to give hugs that were side hugs looking forward to no laband pain!! Good luck with your sleeve surgery!!

yep.. I got denied at 215 with previous weight issues. Sometimes they want you to weight 40 BMI each insurance company is different. Good luck to ya

Woot woot, congrats on surgery date and new journey too.

AWe, they're such cute baby hairs!

Wow this is all interesting, since I too am experincing on top of my right foot and sometimes my left foot.My chiropractor has adjusted my hips, ankles and foot to elevate the pain.I sure hope it just because of the weight causing this joint pain.

Anyone know of a good lotion for firming the body?

Sweet feel of success, congrat's!

To those who shared your photo before and after pic's Thank you so much, they are all so encouraging!!

1 week countdown, I am getting so excited and yet a little nervous not because of the surgery but I just dont want to fail. This surgery wasnt easy to get so I do realize it is the last "Tool" to help me reach my goal of a healthy life!! Good news down 12lbs on presurgery diet I put myself on.

Mnmema, awe so sweet. Just love the part of everyone welcoming you to or. Have a speedy recovery and congrats too! Hugz

Hope your feeling better!

debbieRenee, did you really use spanks and did it support your tummy more this time?

Yay Congrat's on being a Newlywed!!

Lulakat, dont worry about the liquid diet you will be fine. Just remember this will help you and your surgery in the long run.

I'm not quite 7 months out and am down 92 lb.s It's a myth that revision folks don't lose much or don't lose quickly. Best of luck to you,Kim Wow Kim I am impressed and encouraged by this wonderful new! Thanks for sharing.

I was wondering about that too.

Kiap82, Hi i just got the fitbit force do really thing the scale is worth the investment since they all link and talk to eachother?

LIvinforGod, Yay another miracle on these boards!!! Woot woot, time to rejoice and do a little dance! I can relate i too was denied and then got my miracle!! Sleevin soon 1/17/14

xxshelxx, I would flush the bad part of the conversation from your memory and keep the good part, especailly if you walk back into that store!

Jenny your inspiration!!

Sorry your in pain.. Press the button and get some release!

I learned that if you pack up all your clothes by size in clear boxes so when you loose weight you can go shopping all over again into your own closet. Of course shopping is always fun so enjoy it! I learned with my lapband there are those who say they support you only to find out what your secret is. True friends and encouraging friends will stay true the others ya just need to let them go. Life is to short to please everyone!

I agree you look Fab~U.. What exercise plan did you incorporate to your new life style?
