Ok so i know that those of you that are or were bigger like me...like 250+ have SOME kind of experience with the dreaded spare tire on your lower belly. I have had one child and it was a c-section and ever since my "baby" fat in my stamache has taken a downward turn...its disgusting. Anyone have a method that they truly thinks works? Im starting an excercise program next week and i hope to lose some of this...I wanted to know what most of you are doing to get the HARD TO ELIMINATE areas of your body? My next problem is my thunder thighs.....my biggest section on me is my mid section, butt, and legs....everything else is slightly manageable. HELP!!!!

Hey if anyone is having a bad day and you need a little pick me up then go to this site and get these MP3 downloads. In St. Louis we have a morning show called MJ in the Morning. MJ is awesome and does these awesome Crotchety calls. He GUARANTEES you'll like these! I love them and if im having a bad day i listen to them. Check it out. RadioMJ

I think this is very out of line for the Dr. This shouldnt be about what you didnt do and more about what can be done and if your ok. He should have taken your word on if you followed the rules. What a creep. I would write a letter to the office. Also, ive heard it's common to get a UT after surgery because the cathaters can cause them. Hope all that goes well.

lol...i know the website looks crazy...its a company that makes the software that most of you who work in major companies use. They make the software that BOEING uses to create their jets. Fun huh?!?!

Well after the long search i have finally found a job. Some of you may remeber i was complaining that i thought i was being judged on my weight. Well this job was actually a hard job for someone to get. I had to do a phone interview, then a personal interview with 4 executives...and then i had to have a hair sample drug test and background check. I was so excited to hear that they chose me. I am working at UGS in st louis. www.ugs.com I do phone work, mainly gather info for the company to use. Mon-Fri...8-5 and pays good! So point of my story is that for those of you who think they are judging on weight...just stick in there SOMETHING will come up...just might take some time! Good luck all of you!

Lane Bryant Catalog is deffinately a rip-off...its not even close to the stuff yuou get at lane bryant. I swear by www.avenue.com now. Seems their stuff is in most cases cheaper than lane bryant and if you sign up on their website you get coupons in your email weekly for 20% off and all kinds of discounts.

Well i appreciate all the great opinions and views...lemme clear something up....I have confidence....and when i wasnt as heavy i NEVER had a problem getting a job....only now when im 345lbs am i having a prob getting a job. The job i want is an office position, receptionist or admin assist. Im 22 and overweight.....so the HR people see young and overweight and cant seem to look at my qualifications. I am VERY qualified...... Now this may not be from my weight but i can pretty much assume most of the jobs i lost because of this and some of them might have been just a chance thing that someone a little more qualified than me applied. Either way......i was more or less putting this post in to see if anyone has gone through the same thing as me. I have no intention of ever suing anyone for my weight...unless they straightup said "u cant have this job cuz ur fat" then i might sue...lol... thanks for all the responses

Yes it is very hard to see other people and their qualifications, but i know i have a lot of computer experience that these businesses around here need. A lot of the people that have been in these businesses for like 20 years dont have that much "new age" computer experience. I do. I also can bring so much into a company...its a shame no one wants to even give me an opportunity to prove it.

Im almost convinced it is because of my weight that no one wants to hire me. I have been to a ton of interviews where i am completely qualified and i have no call backs. I call them and they tell me they have chosen someone else. Now i know the economy is bad for these jobs, but come on, out of like 15 interviews in the past 3 months ive gotton NOTHING? Just frustruated i guess...i have a great personality and im willing to work hard...and know one wants me!!!

I had one. They put it in after i was out. They pulled it out 6 hours after i was out of surgery. They had it in so much because they had so much fluids going in me i couldnt keep up with the bathroom...lol..when they finally took it our i was peein for like 3 straight minutes....lol...crazy

Oh, my Dr. gave me a bigger band but it all depends on the patient. They will work the same. The Dr. told me i could have children with either. So i would assume thats right.

Yup your feeling everything as you should. Perfectly normal. The shoulder pain i never got but apparently the Dr's like move ya around alot in surgery and causes shoulder pain...anyway...i never had alot of gas eaither i think it just depends on the person. Congrats and good luck!

Just wanted to bump this so more people can see this. I wish i would have known about this along time ago!

WOW that vitalady is like $10-$15 cheaper than the stores ive purchased from. I just ordered some more for me. ALSO....they sell smaples on that site which is awesome for some of you who are a bit skeptic on how good this stuff is! YUMMMM

I definately did this. Every meal was like my last meal. Dont feel bad. But keep in mind that just because you have the band doesnt mean you cant eat there anymore. You can just smaller portions and you may have to cut the bread out or something....take it easy to you dont have more to lose...
