  1. Hi! I am amazed at your weight loss and commitment. I have a friend who is 700 pounds and feels that he won't be able to be banded. I'm sure someone somewhere will do it and that he'll have a very quick initial weight loss which has got to be encouraging! I'm going to show him your post. Thanks for being on here!

  2. Wow! What a babe!
  3. Hi. Sorry to hear about your band situation. Do you know about the MGB procedure, done by Dr. Rutledge? If your insurance covered the lapband, it might cover MGB. It takes 30 minutes and is reversible,but with nothing inside your body that can get ruined. It's a much nicer, easier surgery than the sleeve, or any other WLS. Just type his name or MGB into your search bar. A whole new world will open up before your eyes! The beauty of this procedure is that you do not get food cravings like you do with the Lap and most other weight loss surgeries. It's worth looking into. Good Luck! Hyacinth
  4. Hi, congratulations! I'm sure it took a lot of thinking before you decided to have the lap-band. Why did you choose this method of weight loss? Did you know anyone who'd had it done before you? Thanks, Hyacinth
