WOW - what a post. And what a cool strong woman, you are. You are doing so great - congratulations on how far you have come already. And with that attitude, you will do soooooo great! I am sure, that next summer - you will have come a loooooong way. Proove the haters wrong. Love yourself the right way. What a great feeling it must be, next summer, when you BMI has climbed even further down, and you are standing proud - glowing of health and beauty!. HUGS from Denmark

I think you are looking great on the before picture too! And totally normal, I se no fat or flabs. Amazing hot girl. But maybe I would look at it different, when I loose a lot of weight myself. And yes, please clone that ass, and send me one - I will have it installed at the same time with my sleeve-operation In a non stalking way also

WOW - thank you for updating. A newbie like me LOVES the story. Fantastic

Thank you, I love TED :-) 100 millions neurons - like a cat's brain Thank you for this great link

Yay - thats almost the same - only a month! I am so excited... Congratulations to you too

Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Now I feel more in touch of what I can expect in a month. Congratulations!

What an inspiration - I will have mine in a month. Well done! I will remeber to take my measurements before my operation.

Just my surgery date. The 30th of November! YAY

Some good advice have been given Just wanted to say, that I am sure that many of us overweight people feel the same way. We need to say goodbye to our comforting food. An example: My sister had a Bypass in may, and have been treated for Binge eating disorder - and or just overeating. I have some of the same problems. She still has a few issues, but it is nothing compared to before the surgery. We can still eat a LITTLE of everything. And we need to be comforted in other ways - find new coping strategies. I am trying to TALK with my friends, meditate, sleep and get massages, instead of eating. These week I am saying goodbye to my old comfortfood - will be operated 30th of November. Family and friends - it is also difficult for them, taht YOU change. Will you still be the same? Will you still give them attention? Or mayby they think that it is a HUGE operation? We are all different. I have the same thoughts as you. But I am looking forward to be operated, to have a tool and some help with my overeating. (And will have some therapy as well - for the fifth time :-)) HUGS

Day 4 post op - 246 over a year after - 158

Just wanted to share: I am 168 cm / 5 feet 6 inches Weight 93 kg / 204 pounds Would like to loose at least 60 pounds - would love to weigh 64 kilos (140 pounds). But everything under 70 kg would be paradise! I will get sleeved late November 2010. Living in Denmark - going for Athens to have my operation

A great answer - a good one to answer! PRE-OP, my ten reason for having the operation are: 1.To get rid of my sleep apnea and somewhat high blood pressure, 2. Less snoring - will be able to sleep next to someone again 3. To live longer and perhaps become more fertile (36 - no children yet - but mayby in the future. I dont know if I want any) 4. To get some load off my stomach, so I would have less pain in my lower back 5. To be able to run for more than 30 seconds, without having joint pain. 6. DANCE freely- not feeling heavy and stange when I am moving my body 7., To be confident again, when I meet people from the old days - when I had a normal weight. 8. I am a stylist: To choose some of the clothes for my self, I use and write about for others. 9. To feel more attractive. To be the best woman, I can be. 10. to feel more the FREEDOM - my most important value in life. Freedom from the extra weight. Will be back in a half year, and make a follow up on this!

I THINK THIS IS THE MOST INTERESTING PART - I didnt know that: "There are probably many pharmaceutical companies working on an "anti-ghrelin" drug but it is likely that even if such a drug is created and works, the other hormones involved in appetite will increase over time reducing its effectiveness." If the other hormones "take over" over time - then the reduced hunger from the operation will decrease over time? Has anyone in this forum been operated for 5-10 years or more? But we still have the smaller stomach, if the antighrelin effect subside. Will the feeling of hunger then be the same, as many with the lapband experience?

Dear Shannon Thank you so much for sharing your story! Lots of hugs from Copenhagen

I like to read that kind of statistics - it makes me sure, that an operation is right for me. 10% off will not make me healthy Thanks
