After reading the posts sounds like alot of members are having Lipo, what results did you have with the lipsuction/ liposculpture. Please share as the ones of us with lots of weight to lose, will definately need to get done I think, my tummy and legs not to bad - but ah the arms.:wub:

Was thinking of getting the vibra machine, it is a vibrating plateform. Stood on one the other day and vibrates your whole body. Anyone had good results with it?:wub:

I have had lap op 6 mnths ago lost 25kg so far, put on kilo this week. I am 73 kilos now,how many calories a day to keep losing??:wub:

Is 30 to 40 minutes walking a day enough excercise? opinions please.:crying:

I have brekkie, then eat about 10.30/11 then at lunch just have a coffee. Is this ok, then dinner, and maybe snack at night time.:crying:

I have had 4 fills so far , but can still eat 3 slices of german rye bread in one day -- is this normal, had op 6 mnths ago lost 25 kilos so far.Do i need more fill? doctor said to me last time do you want a fill or leave it, i said give me a bit of a fill, dont go back for another 3 mnths. Only had one stint of bringing up a bit of saliva, that was after ate a banana, havent really had much vomiting since having operation done initially.Am 73 kilos now.Any opinions.:crying:

I had 41 kilos to lose. Have 13 left to lose now. dont know what type of band i had but is german.

Well ladies I have one week to go, I can't wait. My op is 31st March WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO Yippee it finally going to happen

Great news for your op on 31st march, you wont regret it, what is your starting weight? everyone seems to lose about 20 to 30 kilos in first year i think.

i have also hurd that Vitamin e but alot say there isnt much that any vitamin or creams will do...

Will try vitamin e if it helps, any help will help. thanx

He told me it was a really quick procedure where just the top of the port is switched, so not the whole procedure, just the tip of the port where it connects to the tube.

Wow just changing top of the port, what a relief, that will be something I look forward when reach my goal weight.many thanks, puts my mind at ease now.

thanx, will use e Vitamin, am taking a multi but will also take e.

I hve been smoking heeps more now< help.

The advice given to me, as I have not a lot of excess skin or fat on my tummy, but am a bit saggy on the behind, was that liposuction often creates more problems than it solves. If its fat pockets (small ones) then fine, but for my bum, that's gone south, it will only make the loose skin far worse.

You cannot solve droopy body parts that are due to weight loss and loosish skin with Lipo unfortunately. You can only remove stubbourn fat pockets.

Now me, I'd call my bum fat. But apparently not, its just saggy!

you look like you done really well in your photo. how much weight have you lost? when did you have the band put in. Yep mine worse than yours,but thanx for reply.

Sticky what was your start weight? I lost about the same, was done on 18th sept. keep up the good work!! i am loving my band best thing i ever did,how do you feel about it?

Any ideas on what Vitamins to take to help with skin elacsticity? stop/help stop sagging?:wub:

Anyone had liposuction/sculpture done on arms, tummy, thighs. Dont want scars from surgery, was wondering how effective it is especially on the arm section. My tummy, thighs not as bad as most I think.Did your arms look much improved?:wub:

I am not certain what type, will find out what type he used I know it it german. I think they have been using in Australia for ten years now.Will do more research and get back to you. Sounds like you have kept the weight off. great news. I have lost 26 kilos so far.

you can ask your surgeon to switch it to a low profile port. That's what my surgeon told me he would do when it comes to that.

Thank you about info re the low profile port, but does that basically mean having the whole operation done again to swap it?

I have dropped 4 dress sizes since sep 2007, have got into heaps of my old clothes but want to splurg on something new, but hey i know will not wear for that long, so splurg at the op shop i go, and some of those clothes are beautiful and no one will know. Give your old clothes away - the big ones that is because if your like me you will never let yourself get fat again.:shades_smile:

My arms are looking terrible, have been reading on liposculpure, liposuction, and the cutting of the arm fat. Anyone had any of these done, i have been doing weights without any help. My doctor says drink lots of Water this helps with elacsticity of skin, and weight till the skin forms with the body.

Anyone have opionions on what has happened with their arms and what have they done?:shades_smile:

I was reading a post on yahoo that lapbands need to be replaced after ten years, does anyone know if this is true??:shades_smile:

My port is just above the waist left hand side, and when i lydown is noticeble, when turn it seems to have a large lump up. Had lap banding sep 2006, my surgeon says is normal as lose more weight. Has anyone had this problem will it go away to speek with less or more fill, embaresed if get a new partner. Help:wub:

Checked out the photos,you have done really well so how much weight lost over what periods of time? what are you having done. Noticed i have bad batwing arms at the moment.

Has anyone noticed that the port when you lie down pots up or moves when you turn your body, this is embarising if you have a new partner got lap banded in sep 2007, my surgeon says normal and will be more noticeable. Help has anyone had this problem does it change if more or less fill?
