Plastic Surgery After Lapband
Sherry 87 down 15 to go replied to oldiebutgoodie2's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Just a thought, but why not go to one of the Dept stores and look, there are some (walmart) that still have those cotton type sun dresses that can be stepped in to. They are roomy enough that you could sleep in them. Good Luck!!!! I can't wait till I figure out what I will do about all my excess! -

I can't eat chicken at all. It was a staple in my diet before. I was banded by Dr. Groves in March 2009 and am at a standstill. :thumbup: I have a weigh-in on Monday, possible fill. I hate those days. I am always disappointed. -

Hi, Congrats on your decision to have your lapband done. Also on choosing to use Britt & Groves, they are the best. I know that there has to be a six month pre-op diet for most insurance companies to approve. This diet has to be monitored by your reg. doctor. My husband is doing this now and will hopefully have his surgery scheduled about the time you have your first appointment. We are excited. It has been a year since I had mine. I haven't lost it as fast as I thought I would, but I am still losing and that is what counts. (my ticker is correct now :scared2: The pre-op diet could be one of two different diets. Similar to the Atkins, w/protein being your main goal. Or counting calories w/protein still being the main part of the meal. I personally couldn't do Atkins and had to do the calorie counting. Good Luck!! You found a wonderful site to get your questions answered. Feel free to email me at anytime at the same user name as here, but at hot mail instead. Have a great day, Sherry French -

So, that is the update on me... How are you doing? I see you are a teacher, what grade? Are you excited about the new school year? I have a junior high aged son. He just turned 13 on the 20th. He is playing jr. high football. He loves school for the social aspects of it. He is a smart kid but doesn't apply himself. The teachers always become aware of this. He is very charming and unfortunately, very funny and has a great personality, and they don't push him for his best. He makes them laugh, makes them love him and in the long run, he grazes by on B's, a few A's and maybe one or two C's. But could be a straight A student if he would apply himself.
If you by chance work at Arab Jr. High(8th) grade, or AHS, lol beware, he will be on the prowl and is looking for teachers with a good sense of humor. haha
Hope you are having a great Monday (07-27)

So I have this ugly gash that is attempting to heal on my right arm, and while not using that arm, I over-compensated the left one and now I have a ganglion cyst popped up on the inside of that wrist, which I am now having to wear a brace on.
Any and all arm exercises are out for the time being.
I still go to the gym 3-4 times a week and am in the process of getting my own tread mill set back up to use each day in the morning before work. Maybe that will boost my metabolism into working.
I don't have time for breakfast...ever. I do the protein shakes, about three to four times a week. I was doing fresh frozen fruit, a small yogurt and skim milk, w/prot. powder. I started using the weightloss shakes with ice and protein powder. Not sure how that will work but the taste is different, so that is good. It taste like a choc. shake, until it starts melting... yuk. (to be cont)

I have had two fills and I love the restriction right when I have them done, but it doesn't seem to last long. I have gone from a size 24(sometimes 26) pants to a 16. I even wore a pair of size 14 shorts while on vacation. My hubby says I am still losing inches, but I can't tell it.
I guess I am getting a tad depressed with it all.
I started some online classes to boost my mental self-esteem. I went to the dermatologist in Cullman to have three moles looked at, two on my face, one on my arm. He saw another on my arm that looked "funny" he said and decided to remove it also. It is the one that came back abnormal, so he had to cut "a quarter pound" of meat out to get all the abnormal cells. (to be cont)

Hi, I am sorry I haven't replied before now. I haven't been on this site in so long. Summer, Vacations, Work, issues at work. The gym and family responsibilities have bogged me down lately.
I don't guess I really have any hints, I came here today to get some from others, really. I am at a stand still and have been it seems, forever.
I started out at 247 and this morning the scales showed 217. It sucks. I had lost down to 214 before and I keep going up and down between 214 and 219, this has been going on for six weeks now. (to be cont.)

If you get this twice, my computer blinked out, so I am resending. Things are going ok - I can't wait until my first fill on Wednesday. I am a little disappointed so far in what I have lost, but at the same time, I guess I expected more than I should have. I hope that things are going well with you. If you have any helpful hints or pointers I would be more than happy to listen . . .er um read :-). Have a blessed day - Jen
