I am down to 237 from 286! I have 4.5 cc in my 10 cc band.

I've lost 38 pounds so far.

I've lost 38 pounds so far.

Tomorrow is my big day too! Nervous, scared, excited. A large part of me thinks I am completely nuts to be doing this.

I am having surgery Thursday June 30th. Should I shave, trim, or even remotely care about my nether regions? *Note: I am single and haven't gotten any action in YEARS so it's a wilderness down there*

I blame House, M.D. He's an internist, surgeon, pathologist, radiologist, pediatrician, obstertician, and full time drug addict. So, of course you'd think your doctor and pharmacist should know everything.

It's amazing what patient's expect from their doctors.

I really wonder why people concern themselves with matters that have absolutely nothing to do with them?What other things do you take on as your own personal headache, I wonder?

How much is Dr. Rumbaut?

Any mexican surgeons performing the single incisiion procedure?

Nice! If I get this procedure done (and it's looking like it will happen no matter what my PCP thinks) I'm going to go crazy weight lifting. By "firm fat" I mean, I don't have dimples, rolls, cellulitis. I'm smoothly round. :thumbup:

I thankfully don't have any of those problems. And I look at these plastic surgery pics and think "Shoot...I'd rather stay fat" Boobs sagging to my belly button, hanging flesh everywhere? Yuck. And then the after pic, looking al scarred up everywhere. I dunno man. Scary. And I notice most of the before and after pics are of people very dressed up.

Do you ever look at plastic surgery websites with before and after pics? After massive weight loss ppl look disgusting, and the plastic surgery to remove excess skin is okay but the after photo doesn't look all that much better. Am i trading one nightmare for another? I'm fat but at least I'm a firm kind of fat....what's the point of being slimmer if I'm still worried about exposing my flabby body because of the surgical scars?

I have Aetna. Any suggestions?

I am new to NYC and also new to havinginsurane. I am fortunate enough oto have an insurance plan that will pay for all the lapband costs after a three mnonth weight loss regimen. I went to a PCP to start the three month weight loss process. Unfortunately i found one that is not supportive of the lapband system. So I'm trying to find a new PCP who will write the letter of recommendation without a total headache. Does anyone have suggestions on a good PCP?
