Pay him no attention.,,get it done..,lose your weight....if he continues this rant then you gotta figure it out..,,get your health together.,,keep posting to us all..,,we support you..,hot soccer mom..,do your thing !:-)

I am still undecided because this band is making my life a living hell...revision must happen either way.

Leakage ?

My fiancee dated skinny women for the longest time before he "came out" of the closet for truly preferring big women. And that's when he found me, his first and only certifiably obese woman. I am 5'2" and 204 pounds, with plenty of curves for him. But he wants me to be healthy and wants us to be together until we are old, no matter what my size. He loves me and will support my weight lost no matter what. I have a whatever will be will be kind of attitude. Who knows what the future holds? Question is, any of you ladies out there whose SO liked you big (bigger the better) and lost interest once the weight came off? Not sure what your question is....its for People who are trying to take control of their bodies and their life...supporting each other through the process not whether or not lost of interest ( bigger the better).Sorry.

Not sure about the long term results and success of the sleeve.......

Get a revision.....I am messed up from the lapband.Had it for 10 years..seeking a revision

Being at risk for cancer and all the other goodies ain't fun!

What???This ridiculous...WLS has gotta be for your life and health number 1. Not because the dude you are with has a fetish for"Obese" women.I am pretty damn fat and I feel disgusting...pain and numerous health problems.NOTHING SEXY ABOUT THAT!I could care less about what some lover thinks...he got issues.I am in the fashion industry so I work with extremely thin women....a lot of it is their age and genes that are why a lot of them are slim...believe me....if I tried in a million years I would not be able to get as slim as some of my model friends...I hate being the big fat girl in the room with a great personality....justifying that some idiot Likes fat women like me....please...my health and well being is most important.No time for bull.Love yourself to do what you need to do...lose weight!

PCOS....I have spend crazy money....on hair removal....hirutism is apart of it....

The lapband is a problem...I was at the ER,seeing a gastro...endoscopy,barium swallow etc.Iam miserable...I want a revision to lap band To sleeve or bypass....

What is the test for Barrets esophagus?

I am getting a revision..I have indigestion....going to see an gastro to see what is going on as a result of this band...it has caused me a lot of damage.i am also a breast cancer survivor..,.if the sleeve ain't right ...bring on the bypass...either or.....get it done!!!!

Absolutely....I agree...you need to make lots of changes...life is way too short....you are trying to extend your life by making yourself healthy...if one can't deal with that...show them the door....YOU matter.

Easy ...walk into Old Navy,H&M and get into the mix...keep!No need to spend big money yet.Have fun.

Aren't you of age?Call a few doctors offices...you are smart to be this age and know what you want.I think you need to start with a PCP.Let them know that this is what you want.Start the process ,keep a eating journal,have the doctor give you a medical supervised diet so you have a record of attempts for the insurance company on file.you need a referral to a bariatric doctor from your PCP.Get support from parents if they are on board.You can do this

Candy getting sleeve and Urworth it....This your journey for you...your health.Fat money ,fat rear end whatever.You are saving your life doing what's right to keep you alive!!! How dare they rain on your parade.!!!!Get it Done!!!! If they can't deal with it you may have to shrink them in your lives as your fat rear ends decreases and becomes compact.!!!Its about you...so yeah fat money is well worth it !!!! Candy good luck with your surgery!!Congratulations...that fat a## will be shrinking. Urworthit,best "fat money ever spent!!!yay!!! Congratulations!!!!

I have reflux because of this darn lapband.I want a revision to the sleeve....hopefully it is manageable .

Yes that's why I am trying to research...the sleeve Longterm results and outcomes.

Yes insurance companies should be glad to revise band to.......less money for them in the longrun.

Yes..18 months I can do It.I can lose 110 pounds and keep it off.

Getting the band was a BIG MISTAKE.I have had the band since 2004.At that time it was band or bypass...that was it....I desperately want a revision to a sleeve.
