katie! ive seen your before and after pics before, but never together like this.... you are incredible!!! congrats on the tummy tuck.... i mean, i man, i hope i don't need one, but im lying to myself because i can already tell that i do. and i act all tough but that surgery truly scares the crap out of me. p.s. i will totally excuse your vag, thanks for being brave enough to flash all of us complete strangers and be a guinea pig for us, because we really are curious to see how someone our age goes through everything. you are -- seriously -- awesome, but i'm sure you know that. congrats again!

Lap Band Billboards...
janesays replied to Weas123's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I know, sooo cheesy! I get so embarrassed when I see one of those billboards, but I also get embarrassed when I am with friends (who don't know I have the band) and a LB commercial comes on TV or we are walking through the mall and walk past the lapband KIOSK (yes-- like next to the kiosks that sell cheap sunglasses or push you to try their lotion!).... I think it's great that it gets the word out there, gets people to start researching it on their own later (I mean, I first found out about it a few years ago after a newspaper advertisement), but I guess I have a paranoia that all of a sudden, my friends will start talking about it. A commercial came on before I got the band (but after I had been to the info session and decided on having surgery) and my roommates started talking about it, saying the people on the commercial didnt even look that overweight and that they think it is the "easy way out"...... needless to say, I STILL haven't told them about it. It was hard the first month after surgery!!! But now its not a problem at all. It's crazy how little people notice the things closest to them... -
Had to ask.. how bad is the farting?
janesays replied to ashleysara's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
i dont have any more gas post surgery than i did pre-surgery, but i kind of have this problem (blessing?) that i never really fart, ever. i do burp a lot more though. not loud belches, just silent burps, if that makes any sense to you. -
hey chocolate snaps! ive been keeping an eye on your progress every now and then, and i just thought i should tell you straight up that you are doing AWESOME!!! you are definitely one of my motivators here haha, and i bet you didnt even know it. do you have any update pictures? i'd love to see how much hotter (if that's even possible!) you have gotten since 8-4-2008, the last time you updated your pic albums.
hope to "see" you soon!

ok so I had two non-scale victories today! 1. I was walking out from a journalism class this morning when I walked past a friend in the newsroom. We hadn't had a class together since last year, so we haven't seen each other in 6 months, but we used to live in the same building so he saw me every day then. Well, I smiled and said hey when I walked past, and like 2 feet later he goes "JANE! i didn't even RECOGNIZE you!" and I just kind of stood there flustered and he goes "i mean, i dunno... maybe its the... peacoat? or... did you change your hair?" nope.... just a haircut that put me back to the length it was when he saw me last. so that made my morning. 2. so then, tonight, I was doing some shopping because i have to wear dress clothes for an upcoming trip and need to look professional, not the baggy-jeans look i've been sporting. after some unfortunate boot shopping when realizing that my calves will not yet fit in regular boots (when will boot manufacturers figure this out??), i went to lane bryant to see if they had anything. the sales lady goes "we have some underwear on sale..... and lucky for you we have a TON of the 14s in stock. i mean, i'm guessing thats what you are." well thank you very much! not quite yet, still in the 16s, but it was nice to have that saleslady think I was just barely fat enough to still have to shop there! sorry lane bryant, but i am sooo ready to stop shopping there! anyways, tiny NSVs.... but they are few and far between right now so i'll take what i can get!

you look absolutely incredible, so congratulations on all of your success. -
aw im sorry. if you have any comorbities you might want to try appealing your insurance, because with a bmi of 44 a lot of insurance companies will cover the surgery, at least partially. sorry i can't help you more since i don't know more doctors in the dallas area... my doctor self-pay was about 12,000. if you look into a loan, i know there are a lot of really good student loans you can get! so that's a bonus. good luck with everything, let me know if you have any more questions!

thanks for the picture comments/compliments girl! i stepped on the scale today and dropped 2 pounds overnight... love when that happens! especially when yesterday i thought i did BAD because i indulged and had some ben and jerry's froyo (half baked flavor)..... guess it pays off to reward yourself once in a blue moon, haha. i am sooooo close to the 2-teens on the scale, i can taste it!

hey nice to meet you! i actually didnt end up having surgery in dallas, since i go to school in missouri now and spend most of the year up here... it makes follow-up visits much easier haha. but a few years ago when i was looking in dallas, i was thinking seriously about using TrueResults (I think it's in Richardson). Since I was denied by insurance and ended up being self-pay, it was cheaper with my doctor in missouri. But you can look into them, I hear great things!

well after my last small fill it has been a little bit harder for me to get down food in general.... but im figuring it out. like, if i drink a lot of water before i eat, its not bad. but sometimes i will be out to eat with friends and feel like i have to order something more than just a salad, which i know i can handle... and the first few bites SUCK. but if i wait a little after that, then it doesnt really hurt and i can eat enough where it looks like nothing is wrong with me!
i havent really lost more weight, but i am still losing. just very slowly. still the same as my ticker. what about you?
i saw your pics you posted on facebook and you look HOT! love it! didnt want to comment on them there so i am commenting now-- you are a babe!
-
this is soooo adorable! and you can tell you've lost a lot of weight in your face... good job so far! -
aw sorry you aren't feeling better. haha yeah luckily i can keep down the good stuff, it's the junk that makes me sick! haha like yesterday, it was goldfish that made me feel horrible all afternoon! but the lean ground beef, sugar free pudding, protein bars, all that stuff--- smooth sailing. so i guess i'm lucky that is how my body has responded so far. now cookies and ice cream, i'm sure, would be another story. but i'm trying to keep them out of the house. out of sight out of mind, right?
-
hey hey! well today was a little rough.... felt a bit sick all afternoon and wanted to throw up but of course couldn't.. haha. It's all good now, but I think I'll stick to jello and pudding for the rest of the night...
how are you doing?
