  1. Happy 30th Birthday Tropicana!

    July 2011 Bandsters!

    I am down to 237 from 286! I have 4.5 cc in my 10 cc band.
  3. I've lost 38 pounds so far.

  5. Tomorrow is my big day too! Nervous, scared, excited. A large part of me thinks I am completely nuts to be doing this.
  6. 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*
  7. Hi there, did you get the surgery done in mexico yet? I am going Sept.2

    Lack of knowledge about Lap-Band

    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.

    Horrified at Australian surgeon

    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?

    My fear

    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:

    My fear

    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.

    My fear

    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?
