Oh and about the body lift, yes it was under the knife. Full circumferential scar with a vertical incision. Which is why my torso is so 'tight'

Thank you!

I seem to be losing restriction. I have 8.5cc in a 10cc band and I have been able to eat in the mornings in the last few days, and can eat bread and rice today. Worried.

Hi Kelsey,

thanks for the comments in the before/after thread. I lost 100% of my excess weight in 7 months, but went on to lose approximately another 30 pounds in the year following that. I now tend to struggle to put on weight rather than lose. My band is pretty loose now but my appetite died a long time ago!

Good luck with your journey. I hope the band works for you as well as it did for me!

I went to Reilly's in Osborne Park - their number is 94403677 and they're at 1/219 Main Street. They did the design free hand and they were just bloody awesome. It was a young guy named Tyson who did my tattoo. It started with just the vines but I wanted him to add the lilies so it ended up bigger than I intended! But I love it! I also had other tattoos that were cut up and they had to work those in as well.

Tell Tyson Janice sent you. They're not cheap (about $180 an hour and mine will take about 11 hours all up) but they are by far the best tattoo shop around, as far as I'm concerned!

Good luck! If you want someone to come hold your hand for a session or two, let me know and I'll see if I can make it!

is going to clean up house, sort things out, and get back on top of things. No more excuses!

Added more arm exercises and now my arms are like jelly!

3 more days before I can start exercising again. Might just go upper body until the bruises on the thighs ease though..

So tired of the bickering on the forums. It's making ME cranky and I'm not a cranky person by nature. Peace out, people, I need a break from this bs.

has half of my new ink on. Still colouring in to go on the 8th Jan.

1st work out on my Inspire home gym. I'm going to be sore tomorrow!

ok trying to get ALL my Christmas shopping done on the evening of the 23rd Dec is a little insane. I think I may be a little bit screwed....

hey hunny, don't know how often you come on here anymore but wanted to let you know that I got a tattoo on my tummy and back around and over my body lift scars and my tattoo looks bloody awesome! The pics on my my profile page in my body lift album . And I'm getting my boobs done (decided I really wanted to after all) on the 28th of Oct, so maybe already done and dusted by the time you read this! Wish me luck hunny and hope you're doing marvellously! If you want to stay in touch, would be happy to PM my mobile number! xxx Janice

Went shopping and clothes fit me differently now because of the new shape. Bought a skirt that I always loved but never 'sat' properly on me. I see much shopping in my future!

Merry Christmas everyone. I hope banded life for you will be as good as it has been for me.

what a difference a 0.1cc has made. Hoping is just swelling andi can eat more than just 1/2 cup of scrambled eggs soon!

is saying goodbye today.

Wow it's been a while since I visited this site.... 3 year bandiversary on the 1st Aug 2011 and still loving it as much as ever!

Work at it, but more importantly, want it so much you feel like you have no other choice.

is home sick. On a great beach weather day! Not fair!!

Lol my port does stick out! My hubby can see it clearly. It's right next to my belly button on my right and that was the place they thought it would look the least 'obvious'. My lapband doctor did tell me that no matter where they put it, they wouldn't be able to completely hide it.

Fill appt tomorrow. To try for green zone or not? That is today's question....

Glad you're back! xoxo
