I'm banded and I'm 23 I was banded when I was 20 your doing the right thing don't let anyone get in your way

I cant delay my surgery any longer my father is retiring at the end of jan. of 2011 and if i do not do it now then i wont have another chance. ]: I have tried to get back down the the 230's and i havent been able to do it. I figure if i lose weight after the plastic surgery i will have a better chance of toning the excess instead of it being such a huge hanging issue as it is now.

Hello everyone Nicole Rose checking in! started out at 365.5 was banded june 3 of 2008 now at 250ish ]: was lower (235) but slipped some how on to the good news now ... i think I'm happy to announce that I will be going in for plastic surgery December 8th 2010 for an abdiminoplasty (spelling excused please) and a panniectomy and possible brachoplasty of my arms 2nd stage is supposed to be my thighs once I heal up from the 1st stage of operation. I am beyond nervous and looking for insight in how people reacted to these surgeries. I'm 22 years old now and I'm 5'6 1/2 I'm going to be at the University of Chicago Bernard Mitchell center for at least 2-3 days after surgery I'm told. How bad are the scars, anything special I should bring to the hospital that you would recommend, how bad is the pain? Looking for some motivational words to ease my mind ]: -5 days and counting

Okay so my family has decided to do a grab bag this christmas just so everyone receives a gift. The spending limit is $100-$110 I have no idea what to write down on my slip. I don't want clothes because im very picky with my fits, same goes with shoes. I don't want restaurant gift cards because I've steered clear of them for over a year now and I don't want to start going back anytime soon. I don't really neeeed anything, so I'm really stumped. Please please pleaseeeeee give me some ideas I'm literally drawing a blank.

My one year was june 3rd and i started at 365.5 was at 88.5 lbs at my one year mark and now im at 91.3 i really wanted 100 for a year but its been kinda slowing down i think i need my second fill finally so i have it scheduled for july 29th one day after my 21st b-day lol wish me luck i have another 74 lbs to lose then i'll be happy as can be!

Okay here's me in mumble mode.... I started at 365.5 im down to 277 this morning i was banded june 3rd of 08 i have one fill of 5cc's in my band. I dont really know if i should get a second fill (its this upcoming wednesday) I barely eat as it is. I probably take in 900-1000 calories a day sometimes less depending on my mood. I do 2 miles a day and 30 crunches after the workout. I dont eat past 6 pm. I'm at a loss i dont know what to do!!!! My weight has kinda stopped coming off, but when it does it'll go right back up to what i had lost the day before, its so irritating. Please help!! What would getting another fill help do? I dont think i can possibly eat less than i already am. HELP!!!!!!!

I'm almost at my one year it'll be June 3rd this year and as of right now im at 86lb down i wanted 100 but i've come up short ]: its been a tough road but i'm really happy i decided to do this it saved my life i was at 365.5 starting whew i wouldn't have been a happy camper ]:

it just seems that every time i hit my goal i've made for myself its never enough in my mind. i just need to get into a better mind set major.... i wonder if yoga will work haha

I've only had one fill and i still dont have any restriction i got it feb 11 of this year. I might need another one sometime soon i'm just trying to stretch out not needing one for as long as i possibly can [: I waited 8 months before getting my first fill and i was able to lose 65 lbs now with the fill i've lost about 20ish

Ahh this weekend was rough on everyone including myself. I just started my work out routine again yesterday and i really want to stick with it because i realized that less than a month from today is my one year with my band and i told myself that i was going to be 100lbs lighter im only at 85 ish i need to snatch up an extra 15 lbs but i highly doubt that i'll be able to do that in only a months time ]: If anything i want to get those 15 lbs by july 28th then i'll only be a month behind in weight loss. Fingers crossed for everyone. Lets have a good week ladies!!!!
