I wanted to wait to goal by my lap band dr told me that i needed to get it taking care of because of the rashes i am getting. I am very scared about my appointment i have had several surgerys but nothing like this with a cut from hip to hip. -

I can only eat the flatbread from subway. I alway get a ham on flatbread (only 320 calories) with no dressing or it is more calories. I can eat the whole thing most days but i don't get any veggies on it. I only get ham cheese and the flatbread. I weighed it one day and it only weight 7 oz so less then a cup of food. I can't eat regular bread it gets stuck.

OMG this is exactly how i felt on wed. I was really hungry all day. Well we went out to dinner i ordered some bbq chicken wings. Well i went to town i felt like i eat and eat and eat. Well when i got done eating i said to my husband that i feel really bad i eat so much. He had a weird look on his face and then he said honey you only eat 4 small chicken wings. I realized i hardly eat but i normally only eat about 2 chicken wings. And then i thought even on a really bad day banded i only eat 4 chicken wings. I can remember when i could eat a whole dozen of chicken wings and several slices of pizza with no problem.

Having excess skin removed
reneek replied to MyBand&Me's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have lost over 90lbs and i currently weight 195lbs and i have a plastic surgery consult in two weeks. I still have 30lbs to goal but because i have such a bad amount of skin (completly covers my pubic area) That he said that it needs taken care off. But he did say it can take up to 3 months to get approval from my insurance company so by then i hope to be at goal. It never hurts to start now and see what a plastic surgeon will say. I would never be able to go two years with this skin not because i want to look good but because it gets in my way gives me rashes ect. -
Mine was $200 dollars which covered the cost of support meetings and things and i didn't mind paying because i knew that is wasn't for profit it was to help us stay on track. $3000 even though your insurance is coving the surgery should be considered fraud. I would never pay $3000. Your insurance is paying for your surgery, your doctors appointments, your fills. I would see another doctor. This doctor is just out to make money. What does this $3000 dollars cover?

Ladies... this ones for you all!
reneek replied to sarahbellzz14-4's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I don't know if this is true or not but i have also gone up a cup size i have went from a 44c to a 38D. Now the lady At VS told me that i might have been wearing the wrong size when i was bigger that i relied on the sides of the bra for coverage instead of the cup and that i don't have as much padding on my side i can tell now where my boobies start ( i guess i didn't know where the fat ended and the boobies began lol). Or maybe a C cup in a 44 is bigger then a C cup in a 38 I have never put my old bra to my new bra and seen if the cups are the same size
