although i am open to *almost* anything in the bedroom, and really do believe in "whatever tickles your pickle. live & let live," i dont accept two things in the bedroom: threesomes, and booty love. its just not for me. for one, when i tried to try it, it was too painful, and gross feeling; and he wasnt even 1/4 in! so no thanks for me, ill pass.

**one month pre op 04/2008 **very recent :w00t: ....and there's more to go... :wink2:

sorry for the late reply!! its going to be 8months since my surgery, i don't regret a minute of it! so how did the consult go??

yeah, lol, the second place i noticed i had lost weight, was in my boobs!! ah well, that's what plastic surgery is for!:thumbup:

-60lbs from my heaviest as of yesterday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

if i knew then, what i know now...i'd use nair to remove it. i started off shaving, like an IDIOT. what did i know i was only 12 or 13...now i get laser done, costly,but soooo worth it!

not hawthorne, but close enough i think ) i'm in norwalk, about 35mins away from you.

thanks bandfan :laugh:) and congrats to everyone on the wieght loss! happy new year, and here's to the start of a great '09!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hi there! same here too. i kind of self diagnosed myself with PCOS-> that's why i love the internet! anyway, i knew my weight had something to with me not getting any periods at all. i was a late bloomer, so i thought, hey give your body a chance to regulate itself. well nothing happend. it didn't bother me until after i got married and wanted to start trying for a baby. well, how can you even plan that without a period? duh!! so, that's when i did some digging around diagnosed myself, because at the time, my former OBGYN didn't even hint of PCOS, when all the physical signs were there and so were the internal. i decided to get L.B. surgery november 2007, didn't have the procedure done until may 22. since then i've lost 57.5lbs that includes the 10lbs i lost preop. i got a new OBGYN just a couple months ago and i told her all of my history and that i had WLS just in may. so, she ran all the blood work, and did mention she was almost certain i had PCOS by just seeing the physical signs, but wanted to make sure with the tests. no shocker, i DID have PCOS. but today, im happy to say, my periods have been back and like clockwork. most of the physical PCOS signs are gone. that's the best! but what i think is even better are our future plans of starting a family, i never thought i would get to this point. its all thanks to the band, i love it, its definitly one of the many awesome things that have happend in my life!!!!

i *might* make it close to goal... i was BAD during christmas!!! i'm happy though with what i've lost so far tho. :party: NAME*************START WGHT.*****CURRENT WGHT.*********GOAL**********LBS.

hey everyone, hope you all had a nice christmas. i haven't posted in a while, but have gone online to read up on some threads. i've been trying to stick to my guns here during the holidays. i've been losing slowly,but i can't complain. i'm down to 221.5!!! its going to be a great new me & new year!!!!!!!!!!

confidence and how you carry yourself is everything my dear... well not everything, but it plays a huge roll in how men see you. i always had bf's when i was bigger and i met my husband when i was at the weight i am now; i ballooned to 278 lbs within months after we got married, he never said a word about the weight gain, but when i would bring it up he was always supportive. different strokes for different folks, ya know what i mean? so, YES there are men out there that do like big girls, you just got to look more closely :laugh:

hi & welcome aboard!!! :cursing: i have a desk job, so had surgery thursday and was back to work monday. i had shoulder pain, that was it. i bought thermacare heat pads, and took them with me to work. i was okay, no major aches or bothers. just remember: we're all different.

:thumbup: i love this thread...im 26lbs away from onederland. i hit a bad plateau for a little over a month, and since my last fill, i've been loosing a little every week; i just hope the scale keeps moving downward!
