thanks bigpapa!

I am not sure but is this PM? I am so no computer savvy. LOL

Hello there!! congrats on being banded!

I am doing great.. keeping hitting plateaus but keep plugging along and trying new things to get back on track... you are such a "hottie" , congrats girl on all your hard work.. it has paid off!

Hey there!!!

Hey Cali,

I definetly have a goal in mind but I am flexible with it. I believe once your body is where it should be whatever that weight may be you will know.. I am super close to my original goal but probably will pass that.. I am not focused on a number just on where I feel comfortable. I hope that answers your question. If not let me know.. Good luck!!!!!

hey where are your pics??????????????

Hey there.. congrats on your banding day! I was banded 6/20/08. My excercize at first was pretty much just the wii fit and I wasn't a huge excercizer. I believe the most important thing is to be aggresive with your fills. Once you hit that sweet spot you really lose fast. Once I was banded I was getting fills every 2 weeks, I have never gained, I have continued to lose. I did have a small plateau at christmas but really the weight just melted off. I have started excercizing now really hard since it is getting tougher to lose the closer I get to goal. I am doing the elliptical for 30 minutes a night plus doing 30 minutes of weight training.. working on my stomache, arms and legs. I have been going every night for the past 10 days and really am feeling so awesome. It seems like just yesterday I was banded and I have to tell you, it's the best thing I have ever done for myself! I am here if you have any questions and congrats again!!

Hi okie.. yep I lost 107 now in a little over 7 months.. where are you in the process?

hey there.. I am doing much better thanks for asking. I have to say the lipo of the thighs was the worst, the tummy and boobs hurt but the thighs killed. Could be because I had the pain pump for tummy and boobs. I am doing better every day. How long did it take for you to be able to go out? Like shopping and stuff?

thanks.. the fat just melted away.. I still have some tummy and loose skin. I plan on getting a lower body lift once I am at goal for at least 6 months.

It took me about 9 months to get to a size 12 from a 24. I was pretty happy with that. I am a 10 now and I am sure when I have my plastic surgery I will be an 8. I was comfortable when I was able to wear 14's and shop in a regular store, now that was exciting!

Hey there.. I am sooo happy I got banded. I was more afraid of the risks of not being banded than the risks of being banded... stroke, heart attack, diabetes.. I am down 117.5 pounds and I know that my chances of getting those killer diseases are sooo much less now. Yes there are risks with the band but for me (I haven't had any complications) the risks of not getting done were so much worse. It has been almost 10 months and I honestly would do it again in a heartbeat!! I wouldn't even think twice about it. I am a self pay and feel it was worth every penny I spent. I hope that answers your questions and if it doesn't feel free to contact me anytime! I wish you much luck on your decision. xoxo Allie~

Hey there.. I tried to click on your pic to see you since the avatar is so small but it wont let me.. can you create a photo album so I can see ya?? xoxo Allie~

hi again.. I am also getting a thigh lift in 3 months. I am really worried about the pain but know once I do that I will feel like I'm complete lol. Please keep me updated on your thigh lift recovery!!!

thanks HIMOW!

lol.. I am still recovering and I had tummy tuck and breast lift in November and my thigh lift in January. I am doing alot better but still get tired really easily and am still sore from mostly the leg lipo.. which is a killer lol

Hey there.. I was looking for your taco muffin recipe and couldn't find it.. can you let me in on your secret?? Thanks! xoxo

hey there! I have to tell you that yes I have loose skin but I look so much better naked and with clothes on with loose skin than i did fat. My surgery for the tummy tuck and breast lift with implants is going to cost $18,336. My insurance does not cover it and I was self pay on my lapband which was $18,500 so for under $36,000 grand a whole new me! I used to say when I was heavy that I would rather be fat than have loose skin and honestly I would rather have loose skin for the rest of my life! Good luck with your journey and if there is anything I can do to help let me know!

no problem! I am here to help.. if you have any questions don't hesitate. I am so pro band it's crazy lol. August is not that far away!!! Congrats to you... xoxo

Hey there.. I wish I was at goal.. I am super close though. My goals keep changing..lol.. Have you been banded yet? If not good luck and if you have any questions don't hesitate to ask.. I am so PROBAND it's ridiculous lol.. I love to tell anyone who will listen how great it is!
