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?

I am going to weigh in today since i am going out of town tomorrow Last week 199 This week 196.5 down -2.5 I sure hope that i keep losing these large numbers i will be to goal in no time.

Well when i hit a 100lbs lost which is only 10lbs i am getting my tattoo. Also when i hit my goal of 120lbs i am going to have Plastic surgery.

YOu could have pulled some scar tissue that you form around your port. Or even a stich that holds you port in place

I still eat all meats you are supose to eat your protein first. Some types of meat do bother some people but i just take my time a chew.

I was banding on a Tuesday went back to work Friday. I was just tired for a few days and had some shoulder pain from the gas they pump into you.

I have to share these with all of you 1. I can now save my legs with ease 2. I can see my va ja ja lol 3. I can now wear L tops 4. it now doesn't take half of a bottle of lotion to lotion my body (less serface area) 5. I can now steal my husband lounge pants which are oh so comfy. 6. I have ribs Who knew!!!!!!!!!!

I think i may up my goal for this challenge my goal was to loose 15lbs and i already lost 8.5 so only 6.5 so i may make it 20lbs that would leave me 11.5 lbs

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

I was just thinking the same thing even though i am not as close as some of you ladies. But i am about 30lbs from goal which would be 165. I am 5`7" so i am pretty tall even my lap band dr said i would look very thin at 165 but i keep thinking to my self i would love to be 140 so when is enough enough. When do you stop?

Easy way out maybe but i still have to think about my weight everyday how much i should eat, how much i should exercise, should i eat that cookie, did i loose anything this week and on on on. For those who think it is the easy way let them get banded. Yes it has made my journey smother and the road isn't as rocky but there is still potholes in the road but the band will get me to my destination. I am very blessed to have taken this route.

WOW 150lbs!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! that is amazing. Congrats on your milestone.

I have not weighed in in the last two weeks so this weight is for two weeks last weight 204 today 199 -3.5 Yay onederland!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I also get a little score around the port sometimes if i over do it and i work out 5 days a week and have since week one but my dr told me that you form scare tissue around the port and sometimes when you put strain there sometimes you can pull or even tare it some times (scare tissue).

OMG i love peanut butter can't get enough of it but LiveLoveLaugh is right put the spoon down. There is 190 calories in just 2 tbs of pb. So if you are eating several tbs you are getting hundreds of calories. I always have PB in the house because the kids love their sandwichs so if i am graving it i alot enough calories out of my day to have one tbs. I messure it out and lick it off the spoon really slowly and that will end my craving. I also buy the smuckers uncrustables for my kids (they are little PB and j sandwichs in the freezer section) they are only 210 calories and i will have one for my breakfast or lunch and they are so yummy.

my full is slight pain in my chest if i don't stop them i will throw up. So as soon as i feel that feeling i stop right away even though i might want another bite.

I have droped 86lbs and i went from a size 22 to 14 but it took a long time to drop from a 18 to a 16 (like 30lbs) but the 14's come with a 15lbs weight loss.

You can join me in pa last week it was 12 as a high lol. I wish it was 68 degrees that is a summer temp here.

I just saw my lap band doctor last week and he referred me to the PS. I been having really bad rashs in my belly button and under my belly. I have a really bad panni i have always had it and since loosing 85lbs it is so bad it hangs below my pubic area (completely covering). The lap band doctor told me that i really need to have this taken care of because of the infections that i keep getting. I have to wear shapwear everday just to hide it. I am very lucky that my insurance does list a abdominoplasty as a covered procedure i just have to prove that i have rashs (which won't be hard to do). But i keep hearing from everyone that i should wait till i get to goal and i should maintain my weight for 6 months first. I am only about 35lbs from goal and it will take about 3 months to get insurance approval (have to prove rashs for three months). I hope to be about 180lbs when i have this done. Do you think i should wait or do you think that because my panni is so bad it wouldn't hurt to have it done. If i have it done at 180lbs that is only 20lbs from my goal. I don't think 20lbs would make that much difference on my belly. What do you guys think? I do see the PS next week. I just want to have good results.

I am right there with you JR i have been between 204-205 for 3 weeks and i am still just eating 1100 calories and working out 5 days a week. I want to get to onederland so bad. I think i might do a liquid diet for a few days to see if i can get the scale to move.

I am hooked on Sobe O calories. I love the apple. It has no calories no sodium no sugar and it is so good.
