  2. That's funny Debbie !! That's probably happen to me. I'll just be glad when they shrink , lol
  3. I've always been top heavy and really needed reduction, so I'm hoping to lose some it, lol
  4. I know how that must make u feel, I told my best friend when I get this done I hope she doesn't change towards me.. She said she wouldn't but u never know.. I don't think she realizes what I'm going to do or she know but until it happens I'm still me. Hopefully she won't change cause I'm still going to be the same.
  5. It won't be till next summer before I get my surgery but I can't wait to lose the girls, lol
  6. Know this is a dumb ?? But I'm very top heavy, and when I have lost weight before they seem to still be there. I would have hope they would shrink too but maybe I didn't lose enough weight for that.. My ?? Is is anyone top heavy and has gone down in size a lot??

  9. I have to agree with Missdietcoke I haven't been banded either so I don't mind hearing these stories,, at this time I choose to be banded, I don't know to much about the sleeve. And as far as gastric bypass , well that one is thrown out already for me . So everyone is untitled to there own opinion . So really in all reality any surgery is dangerous with complications and sometimes us newbies like to hear these things that's why we come on this site so we learn what others have been thru , congrates to ur sleeve . And it was good to hear ur experience .
  10. I haven't been banded yet but with all thought I decided to go thru this process cause at first I only needed to lose 30 pounds then next thing needing to lose 50 and now hundred. And I just don't think I can do it by my self.. So I'm going to do this and this is my tool to help . So I hope it works out for you...
  11. Congratulations !!! Hope for a quick recovery!!
  12. Did last nite and I'm telling I heard that dam machine talking, lol anyway when I got up this morning and turned it off . I was actually was turning back on. Lol sometime in the nite it turned off.. But I have one more nite to do hopefully tonite will be better ..

  21. WEll got a call from insurance advocate today say my insurance required me to be on the insurance for a year before they will cover it, so they gave me a choice to continue for the next 5 months to do all that is requested . Or to start all over in January and start the 6 months,So if I continue then I have to wait till June for them even to turn my paper work in. Getting a little discourage .. They said its good for 2 years.. I told them I will let them know Tommorw .. I think just to keep going!!..
