maybe it will work better if you just sit on it for a while....rofl

Bergdorf, give me 300 dollars and I will come shake your house periodically.... lol save your money, trust me save your money

well, there have been many weight loss "products" and there was a vibrating machine back in the 20's and what we have learned from that is that nothing, no products will help you just loss weight by standing there. All jokes aside, keep your money and take a walk or ride a bike...the human body needs activity to loss weight...diet and exercise...there is no simple cure or pill or powder and no amount of vibration will burn a signifigant amount of calories. Since we are talking about vibrating...remember sexual activity will burn 20-100 calories and that is it, so if you just lay there what do you think will happen? My guess is not much will happen...

yeah it is tough but it IS my own personal plan to be naked as much as possible when I do get to goal...so plaMaytes is a good choice. lol

great post.. 1. enjoy an adventure on the beach 2. Bahamas 3. Get bendy with my baby and make him beg for more 4. change in a dressing room without crying 5. feel good in my own skin 6. feel girly 7. wear a dress ( haven't done this in almost 20 years) 8. become athletic 9. high heels (oh how I miss them) 10. slap the sh*t out of every chick that ever called me a fat bitch

lol, I have a vibrating machine but it has nothing to do with weightloss

I like future plaMaytes...

I was denied twice by Anthem Blue cross of Ca..in the process of appealing. Good luck to all

Hi LosingIT08, I am sorry for the loss of your cousin. But I also know the personal hell of denial by insurance. I was denied twice last month, my doc basically said I was not fat enough....lol I had the choice to loss 90 pounds on my own or gain 13 to have the surgery. Well unknown to me I had high blood pressure so I too am waiting, and waiting some more. I believe we all get our chance... and you will too.

I don't live in a small town, I don't think I could because the people in large towns seem to speak their mind to fat people i.e. me. What business is it of an almost complete stranger to make comment on or critize someone else. None the less make rumor or suggest some sort of impropriety. I was ok being me, its the general public that made me hate myself, made me hate my own reflection because I was in some way not normal, imperfect, to be treated like I was some sort of objection by GOD. I don't understand what the hell gives people the right to comment so negatively as if their own life is perfect. Do people think by putting this negativety into the world makes it better??? My personal saving grace is to say F*ck em, if you have a fat ass and your happy more power to you, if you are bound and determined to fix what is in your control, do and then say f*ck em ! Aubrie, that girl is a keeper...

HI, I have not been banded yet, but soon. I was specifically told by my dietician soda will stretch your pouch. Hope this helps. Lana

excellent post...great way to explain

wow, poor carnie...if this is not a testament to "its hard for everybody" then I don't know what is...she went from a size 28 to a size 6...I read she had a TT, breast lift and bracialplasty...wow...weight gain can happen to anyone!

I don't know about you guys but I am loosing my entire mind over this waiting crap. I can't do anything or call anyone I am just waiting, and waiting. I waited patiently for 1 week now this is week 2 and I am going a little crazy with anticipation.

I Wanna, I am in the Auth process right now, the seminar is very informative. I admit I did not want to go at first but after I went I wanted the surgery that much more. This journey is a process, it needs to take a few weeks... gives you time to get prepared with new gadgets and gizmos...you need time to relearn things. Good luck

Hey Coloradochick, I totally felt the same way, by the time I would have been done paying my doc it was equal to a cash pay in Mexico without the vacation! So I changed, but I know everyone does not have that choice...sorry

don't give up

congrats Shadow, This is a huge step, I am waiting for auth... Good luck on your journey

Congrats Mary04, Can wait to walk in your shoes... Best of luck

thank you Craig, Your story was touching, thank you again for sharing. Lana

congrats Lady and Chilly...

Hi Zagagirl, maybe 3 fills just didn't do it for you...good luck

I can totally relate to that, the doc I wanted charged a program fee of 2850... if I had gone with her I would have ended up paying about 7-8,000 total. So I found a new doc, his program fee is $500 but it goes toward my balance after my insurance pays. I think it is unethical for the docs to charge so much in addition to what insurance will pay...you can also look under "program fees" and see what other people have posted. Good luck.

wow Molly what a proud victory for you...good luck

congrats Gina Sue, I can't wait to be in your shoes! Good going on the WL!
