That's what I am looking for - something to hold in the jiggle. I have a bit of loose skin and it sure does wobble. I did an internet search last night trying to find the pants and I think I found them. They are CW-X stability pants. I am going to the sporting goods store today to take a look at them and try them on. They are a little pricey so I don't want to order blindly from the internet, I want to try them on.

A while back someone posted a link to some really nice running pants. They had lots of built in support. Can anyone help with the link? Thanks!

You will be ok with a 6 ear old in the seat next to you. Just raise the arm between you. If you are flying southwest be sure to check in online 24 hours in advance so you will be in the first group of passengers to board. On second thought, with a six year old you will be able to pre board and will not have any problem getting 2 seats together. Have a great trip.

You look awesome! Way to go.

Starting at size 20 - 22 Current size 16 I feel fantastic! I can move so much better. It is like the restriction on my body is gone. Need to work on more weight loss. :smile: My goal is to be a size 12.

I have lost 40 pounds and I have sagging skin - and I am still thrilled! I started this to be healthy and I am doing great. I won't let some skin stop me. I have already started saving for my tummy tuck when I reach goal. I am going for the prize!!:thumbdown:

I made it! I really made it!!!!!!! 199.5 this morning. I can't remember the last time I had a weight that started with the number 1. Woo Hoo! Happy Dance!!!:thumbup::thumbdown:

I am so close I can almost taste it. I have been at 201 - 202 for two weeks now. Tomorrow is my birthday. Maybe tomorrow:smile:

Thanks for the replies. I did some internet searches too and found them to be comparable. That is why I was asking to see if first hand information showed any differences.

I am thinking about buying one of these but don't know which one to get. Are there any opinions about which is better or easier to use? Thanks.

You should discuss this with your endocronologist (sp?) before hand. They may want to adjust your meds so that you do not go too low. Also, check your blood sugar level 4 to 5 times a day. Best of luck.:cursing:

Welcome JOAG08. I hope you are feeling well after surgery. I am right behind you on the 29. Is there anything you want to share about the experience?

I got my date this morning – Jan 29. :biggrin: I have to go to the doctor’s office tomorrow to pick up my pre op diet stuff. Yum, shakes. I will meet with the surgeon on the 26th and we will go over stuff. I can ask all of my last minute questions at that time. When I started back in August, it seems like the band was sooooooo far off. I had to complete a 3 month diet as well as all of the usual testing. The whole process took approximately 5 months. Good luck to all. I hope everyone is doing well.

When you guys update you still need to copy the MOST recent list. Just an FYI!

I have BCBS of IL and recently finished my 3 month diet. My file was submited and approved 2 weeks later. There was no problem at all. Just follow the program the doctors office lays out for you. Actually, the 3 month diet went well and I lost 30 lbs.

Name************Starting**********Current**********Goal SNDYCNRD.............207........................207.......................140:crying:

Hi Kristin, my name is Sandy and I am also going to the Kane Center. Dr Rantis is my surgeon. I have finished the 3 month diet requried by BCBS and am currently going through the last of the testing that is required before getting a date. I expect it will happen later this month. I attended the support group meeting this morning. Were you there?

You are absolutely beautiful! You must be so proud. Congratulations:biggrin:

It is a shame that the edit button allows such extreme editing as what the OP did to this post. I read the original posts as they were being posted and what remains now is nothing, I mean nothing, like the original posts. They have been cleaned up immensely which now makes the subsequent posts appear heartless. The original post showed clear intent to defraud the STD insurance. She then used stereotypical hate to justify her fraudulent intent. It now seems that the replies are out of proportion to the OP. Unfortunately, there is no way to judge one way or the other with what remains. :smile2:

I have never heard of that brand but would be interested in knowing the outcome of your fitting. Please post back with the results.

I weighed myself this morning and, Holy Cow, I am a third of the way to my goal of losing 100 pounds!!:biggrin::w00t::tongue2: I haven't been banded yet but that should happen later this month. I lost the 33 pounds since my initial consultation. I was required to do a 3 month medically supervised diet by my insurance company. I was disappointed at first because I wanted to move forward NOW. However, I am glad to have had the time to learn the bandster rules of eating through this forum and my supervised diet. I didn't think the supervised diet would be effective but I was wrong. It helped me to think about, and visualize what being banded is all about. They had me practice the banded lifestyle and make changes to my way of thinking. It also helped to form better habits. What I mean is that I have formed many of the eating habits that I will need before having to live with them. It has been a great help. I look forward to being banded and losing the next 67 pounds. I feel so much better now that I can't imagine how I will feel at goal. I have so much more energy and it is much easier to move. It can only get better.:smile2:
