  1. I'll admit I don't post as often as I should, but I'll come look around every once & awhile. I was banded 12/26/07 & was at my lowest this February at 140lb. My weight currently bounces from 143-140lb. I'd actually like to put on like 10lb so my port is less prevalent. It sticks out since I've had my tummy tuck 01/26/09. I have pictures in my photo album.
  2. It totally gives me the creeps. But it is starting to look better.

  3. My biggest was a size 24 & now I'm a 6/7. It took me 1y1m & a tummy tuck. Without my tummy tuck, I would still be wearing like a size 11 just because of all the extra skin I had.

    80 lbs down 30 to go whooo hooo

    Gah! You look great Karen!
  5. My insurance did not pay for my TT, but I also had a change in insurance people from the time I was banded to when I had my TT. The first week after my TT was probably the most miserable I've been in my life, but the end result is soo worth it. I would totally do it again if I had to.

  6. Before - 280lb After - 140lbs This is 1y 2m after being banded & 1m after my tummy-tuck. I really don't know what I did to lose so fast or else I would tell everyone! I feel like I just eat dramatically less. But I still eat the same sort of food as I did before. Minus all fast food. But yeah, I thought I'd share.

    You look sooo good! I love the vest too.
  11. HAHA! Yeah, it seems like there is always a birthday in our house. The funny thing is that if you could see more to the right, I'm sure there is a Christmas tree up too.

    Expierience breast sag??

    My boobs suck now. I don't really know what I could have done though. I'd much rather be healthy with silly saggy boobs then they way I was before.
  13. Thank you! I'm 5'11 so I distributed my weight well, but was still pretty overweight.

    Fills done by patient at home

    It doesn't sound like the greatest idea to me.

    Me and my daughter

    This picture is just darling!
  16. I'm pretty healed up. I mean, I'm back at work but I am still sore & definitely still a little swollen. Congratulations on getting your surgery date!

  17. the tubing is called a jackson-pratt drain...basically they collect excess fluid. Why is this important? Because excess fluid may cause you to heal improperly or can start an infection
