Hi, I have lost 95 lbs . I am holding at 165 now for a year. I am not trying to lose any more, if I do, good, if I dont, I like 165. :-) I haven't had any issues with my band. I would like to have arm surgery for my bat wings.... How is everyone else doing?

I am 5 years out and have NOT had any issues. KNOCK on WOOD. I am at 165 now, and have been at this weight for about 10 months.

I had an extended Tummy Tcuk with anchor cut and he took off almost 9 lbs.

I finally got a fill yesterday , my first one in over 3 years. he put in .6 and I am tight, actually I have never had this tight feeling in my 4.4 yrs of being banded. I am drinking hot tea, and some warm broth today. I am hoping it is just swelling with not havng a fill in so long and will fell better soon, if not I will be calling Dr for a slight unfill of what he put in yesterday.

each person is diffeent

My PS took off about 9 lbs.

I took out a medical loan thru Capitol One.

The Violets have left the building...we are still going strong...just going strong somewhere else! Peace out peeps, live large and healthy!

Where did the violets go? you are all such inspirations, one of the few threads I faithfully read,,, sigh.....

I had 9 lbs taken off ,and was able to buy pants 1 size smaller/.

HEHE Porn star boobs. LOL I agree with Mimi, yours look great, not too big.

Mine took about 6 full months to completely drop and get their correct size. It took me awhile to get used to having Perky boobs, as mine before were sacks also. Its funny when I shoot pool, I have to shift my body away from my arm as the boob hits my arm and messes up my shot. LOL

I had 550 Cc silicones put in, I made me a large D, sometimes a DD in certain bras. I am large frame and weigh about 175, they look very natural and fit me very well.

You will love your new girls. :-)

WOHOO Lellow!!! Congrat on getting booked for the breast implants. When I ad my tummy done I wasn't too keen on the implants, But the morning of surgery I made the fnal decision and told the Dr to go ahead. and I AM SOOOOO glad I did them. Like fanny, mine are a wee bit bigger then I wanted, but I still love the perky thngs!! :-)

I have to go peek at your tatoo, I have been telling my hubby for about 6 months now that I would like to get a tatt over my scars around my sides, he isnt keen on the idea, but if I really decide I want them, he will support me.

Nope my insurance wouldnt cover any of my extended anchor Tummy Tuck. It did cover part of my band. So my husband and I took out a medical loan at a low interst rate to pay for my tummy and breast implants.

No I wasn't at goal. I was at one time 300lbs, When I had lapband I was 255ish. I had my Anchor tt with muscle tightning and breast implants at 178. My Drs goal for me is to be at 135. HAHAHA that wont hapen, My goal for me is 155ish. so I was about 28 lbs from goal. But I had been stuck at 180 for about 9 months. WOuld I do it again at that weight, You bet I would. :-)

Hey Steph, I pop in here every so often. I havent lost anymore weight, BUT I haven't gained any either. I'm about 175 ish. I still have a love hate relationship with my band, But it is what it is and I'm happy with where I am. :-)

Hows everyone else doing?

Laura, your Hollyhocks with rebloom each year. :-D

WOW I haven't been on LBT in a long time.... I've been hanging out on facebook... Hi everyone, hope all i s going well, Hey there Michelle. Kathy, sorry to hear about your MIL.

Christmas, yikes, I haven't even thought about it yet, I have to get thru my daughters Thesis defense and Grad school gradution first. :-)

Ok just thought I would pop in and say HELLO to all of you. :-D

I paid around $17,000 for Extended Tummy Tuck with an anchor cut, muscle tightening. Small breast lift with silicone implants. The price was for all dr's fees' the surgery center, the anasthesiologist, and 2 nights in a care center. Surgery was 7-8 hrs. I had a small revision done on the tummy because of scar issues due to necrosis and that surgery was 2.5 hours (basically a new tummy tuck was done) and the drs fees were free on that. All Drs visits were covered under the 17 grand for as long as I needed them. I'm in Calif and had the surgery in LA/Bev hills area

Congratulations, once the swelling goes down on the boobs you will love them!!! :-)

About 6 weeks.

Congratulations Mimi!!!

I agree with Mimi, Listen to your heart. I had 5 consults, 4 with different dr's and was told something different by all 4 of them. The 1st PS I saw was the one I went with as he was the most open and honest and not [pushy. Asked me WHAT bothered me the most. I knew going in I have issues with everything, BUT I also knew that I can't afford to fix it all in one surgery, and at that moment my TUMMY was what bothered me the most. I don't wear shorts very often so I can hide the thighs, as for the bat wong arms, well sure they need to be done, but I can live with them untill I win the lottery.

I had an extended Tummy Tuck with anchor cut and also a breast lift with implants in my surgery. I don't see another surgery anytime soon as there just ins't any $$$ for it. Good luck in your next consult.

Laughing.....

Barbbee, Great results. And yes as the swelling goes down everythng will start to look better. My belly button was weird also, now its fine. :-)

Works.......
