Awesome job! -
When do you tell a potential partner (that will see you naked)?
MrRiceGuy replied to steph_co's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Well, I've had a recent experience with this, though I'm a guy and it's a little different... I feel that if you're going to be in a relationship and you're trying to build that trust, if they discover the port and ask, then you can give details. When my port was discovered (which it's pretty easy to feel since it's so close to the skin on me), I just mentioned I had surgery and left it at that. She didn't seem too much more interested when she saw I wasn't too thrilled about her finding it. But if your partner wants details, you can disclose that information as vague or detailed as possible. To be honest, I'd just say it's a scar from a minor surgery and leave it at that. Hopefully they won't inspect it and say, "it feels like there's plastic in there." -
I'm one of the people that decided not to tell anyone that I was banded. Like everyone's said, it's a personal decision. But in my opinion it's a VERY personal matter, and frankly no ones business except for yours and anyone you choose to tell. I may be selfish when I say this, but I don't want to be bothered or monitored by others that know I'm banded, or made an example of. If I gain weight or whatever, I don't want people to be whispering that "not even surgery can save his fat ass" and stuff like that. Or if (when :scared2:) I lose a bunch of weight, I don't want people to say "he had to have surgery to lose weight".

I don't know why I never posted this, but a couple weeks ago, I had a HUGE NSV... ... I had a lot of awesome expensive clothes I used to fit into a couple years ago, but I outgrew. Well, I gave them away to a bunch of friends to "hold onto" until I lose the weight and can wear them again. Well, that time has come and I got to reclaim them. My friends were upset that they don't get to wear my clothes anymore, but they were proud of me at the same time. ... does that make me an Indian giver??? :scared2:

What do you think...advice needed!!!
MrRiceGuy replied to chrissyd0425's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
The way I looked at it is I tried to lose it on my own, I'd diet and workout good for a bit, then slip and gain it all back. Since I got the band, when I slip, I can't go back to my old habits because the band won't let me. So, I'll always have it on my side when I slip. We can't rely on it, no one can. But it sure does help you do it on your own. -
Its funny because this post is going to sound a lot like the one below mine, but I'm heading to Michigan on a trip and was searching for Michigan Bandsters and saw your profile. Just wanted to stop by and say congratulations on all your success! Great job!

Wow, I haven't worn 38's since I was in high school and worked out A LOT. I'm happy that I'm down to 42's. 38 is closer to my final goal. I'm jealous. Good job, duder!

Wow. That's awesome. Good job! I'm still counting the days where I can start wearing clothes from Pacsun. And Angie, the size 31's look great on you. Awesome Job!

I'm having the hardest time right now. I've been pretty plateaued the last couple weeks. I'm bouncing between 5 lbs or so. I think it's about time to get filled again...

That's terrible. I mean, that's awesome that you look so good woman are threatened, but sucks for you and your friend because unless she can get over it, he's going to have to make a decision on who's more important. :wub:

Has anyone been banded by Drs. PHILIPPE QUILICI or Michael Feiz in LA, CA
MrRiceGuy replied to alysedg23's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
SoCal, I'm sorry to hear about all of these things happening. I remember a couple months ago when you first started this process, I was too. We both had the same insurance and everything. I can't see what would be the big hold up. I had a couple issues with stuff with Beverly Hills Physicians in regards to what I'm getting billed for, so I hope that when this does get resolved it doesn't go down the same path my did because it wasn't too much better. Hopefully they can get this all resolved. Good luck! -
