Right I'm obese too, borderline morbidity obese:( Seems like most the people on this thread had lap band first, do you know anyone else who was similar to us superstar over just under 190??

That was an awesome informational video! Thank you.

Yeah I'd say probably muscle gain, which is GOOD!

And you did this in 2 months!! WOW Congrats!!

Anyone have any info on what happens to the staples long term after surgery? Just curious if they are know to cause problem later, or if they stretch and break? I don't know any info on how the body deals with them not only right after the surgery but years later. Is there less or more likely "leaking" over time ect? Thanks!!!

Yeah I'm just hoping to loose some by Xmas:) hoping mine goes a little quicker since I'm bigger starting weight. I can't believe u had it done at the weight! Glad it worked our for u though!!

it took the whole 6.5 months to get there or have you been at that a while superstartover??

So glad I found this forum, I am also starting at about 190-195. I am 5 ft 3 in. I did not have a band prior, or any health factors (yet). I have only been over weight 5 years I am just trying to prevent the future and not get any bigger. Glad I'm not the only one trying to be proactive. Although my goal weight is about 60+ lbs I feel I cant do that On me own. Anyway I hope I'm not to slow a looser that's why I usually cant stick with diet and exercise:( anyone out there my weight an loose relatively quick!?

Looking for a buddy that is going to Mexico Bariatric Center, my date is 10/22/13. Anyone else? I'm getting it done with Dr. Valenzula...

10/22/13 MBC, Dr. Valenzula

I'm going 10/22/13, by myself, but feel confident. I also have been working with Cristy. Did you get a date or still contemplating?

I feel similar family mainly thinks its crazy and co workers too, now I see why people don't want to tell people. At first I was like "I don't care what they think", now I'm kind of wishing I never told anyone.... Its odd how people react to a very common procedure that will help improve someone physical and mental health.

I'm curious to find someone with a very close starting weight as me to see how it worked for them. I am 190-195 and having my surgery 10/22/13. I was curious how much weight I should plan to loose, I know it varies but I'm hoping since I am doing this now before I get any bigger I can really get the results I want (130-140), but am scared because that is more then the average 50-60% of excess weight that you should plan to loose. I just looking for someone who had surgery with a starting weight under 200 and their input and experience. Thanks!!!

Way to go I hope that's me and everyone else % months out! Good for you!

How did you lose 20 lbs in 5 days?? Was most of that pre-op?

I wish you the best I will be there in less then a month. Just try to think of all the reasons you booked it to begin with and the results your gonna see! Let us know how it goes!

5000.00 can't get that in the US!

Thanks for the reasureance with MBC and Dr. Valenzuela.! I so excited and hope this is the help I need to ensure a heatly life! And the best decision I will make!

From what I read you can drink Decaf because it will not cause the dehydration.

I don't know how you even have that much energy or time to begin with I think you will be okay probably just the diet that you have no extra energy.
