  1. for me-I doubt Id like Jillian in real life-shes just such a bitch who seems so fake and carrying a whole lotta emotional baggage of her own that i wouldnt appreciate her bringing to my life.Plus she hip poses too much-she always ALWAYS is posing and it drives me insane.Yes we all know it shows off your toned body well when you thrust the one hip to the side but geez enough already.
  2. ugh I would haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaate jillian being my trainer-she wouldnt motivate me at all-Id just end up bouncing that big silver ball in her face-lol. I like Bob-he would inspire me I think-he is tough but just more appealing personality wise for me.
  3. good luck-it is a hard road-me personally i had mine done in tijuana as a self pay and im one of those people that many on here dont particularly care for-i didnt do yrs of reasearch-i did about 2 weeks worth-called the doc in mexico on a tuesday and was scheduled for surgery on friday-lol. no time to reconsider etc....
  4. has its ups and downs-i was a hard sell on learning to eat correctly and i do have bad days but its all a journey and the band is just a helping tool not the save all-sighhhh-lol.
  5. oops-didnt know this was men only-sorry
  6. I own a tile roofing company in Houston and a hunting lodge in North Dakota.
  7. hey-gl to you and if interested ill be in Brisbane in May of this yr-id be happy to maybe meet for lunch or something-i was band almost 4yrs ago.
  8. ok heres the thing-he will most likely move past his love affair with food-I have.Its just not what it used to be-I was banded a few yrs ago and no he will never eat with joyful reckless abandon again..ever.its a hard road and not always fun but you realize food for many of us was replacing living life-we ate instead of did things-i was 214 and felt unhappy and lazy-now im healthy again 130 pounds and yes i often miss some foods but im glad to be active and self confident again.do i miss stuffing a big yummy burger and fries into my mouth?yeah sometimes-would i rather do that than have the band?nope!
  9. yeah ya gotta love the Blue teams commitment.
  10. anyone who puts up with people like carla and considers them friends-definitely has self esteem issues.
  11. ok for me it was obvious from show 1 that Carla is a bitch-she is"friends" with joelle because joelle is a emotional mess and she can bully and control her-she practicly begged to go home so if they failed it could always in her mind be joelles fault-never liked her.i also think joelle has some serious issues-deep issues she needs to address-her personality implies some serious lifetime abuse and having been surrounded by pushy bullies her whole life.
  12. I wish you the best-good luck
  13. omg I dont think Id EVER want to have AN kind of surgery in India-now granted this is a kneejerk reaction and I have not done any research on the facility or doctor but I have been to India and just dont rank it up there as being medically cutting edge so please please please make sure they trained under someone with over 300 lapbands and they have been doing it awhile.
  14. honestly I think the time length has alot to do with whatever the BMI is-more test for heavier people it seems.I also think selfpay vs insurance is HUGE factor and US vs Mexico-all these seem to make big differences.If you are in the mood for a quick deal then selfpay to mexico-lol.
