Crimson Tide

Congrats on loosing 2 bags of sand. I too have lost 100 pounds but sadly i still have 40 more to go. My ticker don't reflect 100 pounds but i didn't start it at my actual weight. I really don't know actual weight because 350 pound scale would not weigh me. Anyway i'm well on my way :bored:

Not as bad as it seems. I was up on the internet 2 hrs. after surgery. You will do fine.

Stacy, me and wife both went to Mexico and used Dr. Ortiz. It was a great experience and i would recomend it to anyone. I couldn't have gotten any better treatment here in the U.S. We chose to stay at the Lacerna. The person was correct about sometimes it is difficult to find after care for mexico patients but i don't guess they realized that you are just 2 hrs. away and can go back to Dr. Oritiz for your fills. They use flouro during fills. Anyway wish you all the best and if you need any answers to questions PM me or write me and i can give you my wifes email address. We would be glad to help any way we can!!!!

Yall are making me want to skip going to florida on vacation and come to the meet and greet!!! Seriously hope everyone has a wonderfull time!! Maybe we will be able to make it to the next one!

Wife had her lapband in November and has went from a size 24 to a 12. She is going in December for a lower body lift, boob lift and lipo in butt (lol)

Kaninag from your post the new picture in corner i can tell u have lost alot. Keep it up you are doing great!!

Thats how i feel. Sometimes i win and sometimes i loose. lol

congrats!!!!!! Great accomplishment!!!!!! :thumbup::thumbup: I Have a lot of skin also but not sure if i could go through with it.

I'm pretty shure i'm not alone here. I have a love/hate relationship with my scales. I usually don't like them very much but in the last few weeks we've been getting along pretty good. i weighed 257 this morning. lowest i've weighed in years. It might go up a pound here and there but as a whole i can see it coming down. But i can also tell i was so big it seems there is going to be a lot of xtra skin left over when the weight is gone. I'm pretty sure i'll need a tummy tuck but not sure if i want to put my self through that. Thats just something i'll have to worry about later but as for now just concentrate on the other weght i have left to loose. So COME ON SCALES KEEP BEING NICE TO ME lol :confused::biggrin::ohmy:

Congrats!! Welcome to the site. Lots of wonderfull people on here that are willing to help or just lend an ear when needed. hope everything went well for you. keep me updated with your success. Greg

Thanks for all the replies. My wife has researched all the places and has decided to use Dr. Campos in tijuana. She has a friend that was also banded by dr. Ortiz in tijuana and she had her lower body lift by Dr. Campos last week. She is getting a lower body lift, lipo to lower back and waist, that will be fat grafted to the butt and arm lift. With airfaire and accomodations total is about $9000. This was the best price we could find and she really liked the receptionist that she talked with that answered all her questions. You can google him at: Jaime Campos-Leon in Tijuana.

My wife is going to mexico in December for a lower body life and arm surgery. Any suggestions on the dr.'s that she needs to contact for prices. Thanks!!!

I have lost about 75 pounds from my heaviest and still have 70 more to loose. I know i'm gonna have a lot of hanging skin so i was wondering if anyone else on here has ever done it or has considered it.

Jason We would love to come but we will be on vacation. Take a lot of photos so you can put an albulm on here. Have you thought about Emailing a copy of your flyer to the Dr.'s office so they could post it in their office? some of the patients might not be able to attend the support group meetings. I looked at the waterparks website looks like a great family oriented place. I didn't even know it was there.

down to a size 42 pants. dowm to a xl in shorts. had to let seat in car up too much room behind steering wheel.

Challenges are great. I'm in after i more week of liquids. Good luck to all of you!!!!!!!! Greg Wynn You did great leaving the cake alone. That is good way to start.

didn't have to use the extenders on the seat on the plane to fly to Mexico for my surgery. Amazing what nearly 50 pounds does for a person.

My wife is considering having a tommy tuck. Any information would be gratefully appreciated. She is also concidering Mexico if the price is right and the care is good. thank you GREG

Getting banded April 6 in Mexico. 12 days and counting.
