dyscalculic, What does this mean? U have problem calculating numbers? Jodie I have a question? Do you want to just vent and all of us not respond or do you want us to respond? I suggest you read Jessica O's story. I believe so far all of us have read this poor girls tragic experience and your life is sunshine on a cloudy day compared to hers. http://www.lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?t=7414 http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/profile.phtml?N=O1024075523

I have a friend who did the RNY. My insurance approved her for that right away(we have the same insurance plan). Yet with the lapband they are jackin their jaws and taking there sweet time. Well she decided to go with the quick approval. Her starting weight was 404lbs. That was in December of 2004. Her weight now is 280lbs. Her blood pressure is under control but now she is diabetic. When we started it was just the blood pressure and the weight. Now she has traded her BP pill for Glucophage(diabetic pill). Her vitamin B12 is so out of whack that she has to get shots weekly for that. All of her hair fell out and she still can't eat very much. It took her 2 days to eat a carnation oatmeal breakfast pack. When we go out it is 2 bites and she is either full or running to the bathroom. I have also seen very good outcomes of RNY but for me one bad apple spoils the whole bunch. Last night we talked on the phone and her words to me was I should have waited like you did. She is alot smaller than she has ever been since I met her 16 years ago but a light from her is gone. She takes 2 pills a day now . One for diabetes and the other for depression, and a shot every week. DeeDee

granny panties(for now) bought a pair of thongs once just to see. They got lost LOL oprah winfrey or dr. phil

Well, I lost my hair when I was diagnosed with lupus cause of all the medicines and stuff but oil of rosemary helped me alot. I am african american so I put it in my hair grease . If you are caucasian I recommend using it in your leave in conditioner just pour it in the conditoner bottle. It is kind of expensive and they come in small bottles liquid form.They also come in pill form which helps tremendously. You can find it at any health food store! Hope this helps, DeeDee

I have been anxiously awaiting getting my band and although I am 336lbs I never thought about having loose skin! According to my Doctors, relatives, and friends I don't "look" like I weigh that much? I have asked friends to guess(I know this sounds cruel to some, lol) and they always guess around 250-280lbs. I think my height throws it off. I am 5'9 all of my family (women) are like 5'10-6'2. I am one of the shortiest. Can I start toning now to offset the extra skin that is "supposed" to be expected? Anyone over 300lbs experience the saggin skin, and if so did you exercise with the band and how much did you do. I still want the band even if it entails sagging skin. I'll just tuck it in and camoflauge it like I am doing my rolls now. LOL

Well from a 5'9 gal 250 sounds great. I went to my doctor and he asked me what would be my goal weight and I said 220lb. The nurse said why 200lbs your bmi will still be over normal. I told her I was born abnormal so normal is not a way of life. Dysfunction has been my experience for a while! LOL When you are 336lbs, 250lbs is great! To maintain 65lbs is fantabuluous! I would like to say that I enjoy all of your posts , you are very inciteful and funny as all get out! I am glad i found this site!

Buttercup She is beautiful and her name is too! Fits her perfectly! she is definitely a cutie patutie!

I am speechless! I complain alot about what now to me are "little things". I am Praying for Jessica now as I type through tears. I have a strong faith in God and I am faithful that God will help her! Whatever his will may be. The last entry is just .....I dunno what else could happen she has been through it all. Thank you for sharing that link. I feel that she has somehow changed my life. In all of my years I have never felt the way I am feeling right now. When you think that you are going through a bad time then you read something like this and realize your problem is nothing. I know God will be with Jessica whatever the outcome.

BUtch Go For the Goal Baby! You are doing great! 210lbs in 3 years, Excellent! That is about 80lbs a year average. I am truly inspired! If I can lose 80lbs with the band period I will be greatful. I want to be oh so cute and sexy! LOL. U go boy!!
