We use to have some pretty steamy convo in the chat room. I miss that room. Lol. A few of us had a group called lapband nymphs..... Bunch of horny women. Man I miss that group. Lol

steve.... I understand ..... same thing happened to me after my TT and i could look down and see my Precious... i was sooo happy... I said.. Well hello there, long time no see. Here's an old post for yall from the "old Lapband group" http://www.bariatricpal.com/topic/171887-is-it-true-what-they-say/

Just wanted to say hello.... Elode... can i join in on the trouble making?

I worry about this all the time..... I know going in that it was a possibility. and i still am hoping for the best. My mentor and friend had the same thing happen... But she was having issues. She would get a fill and couldn't hold anything down... but if she got it removed... she could eat anything... I had a fill and did great... then all of a sudden i was having trouble keeping supper down. Breakfast was good, lunch ok... but by the time supper came around... what ever i ate came back up and took lunch with it... it was like i was backing up. Anyway, i went and got 1cc removed and i do feel much better... i can eat and no reflux for throwing up. So, i guess for now i will keep my fingers crossed. Plus my new insurance won't cover removal or sleeve... so i just have to keep it in the Lords hands... and pray for the best

you just wrote exactly how i felt.... after my weight loss i was in pretty good shape... My arms, legs, breast were pretty good. Meaning i didn't have bat wings, saggy thighs and my breast cup size stayed the same..... My issue was the stomach. After two babies, and multiple surgeries my stomach was beat the hell up. I was fortunate that i didn't' have stretch marks on the top of my stomach... all were in the Pelvic area. I too struggled with the "unknown", in fact i posted something a while back about this very thing... I went back and forth with should i or shouldn't i .... And my husband didn't want me to have PS either. Then one day i thought.... I didn't give up all the thing i gave up, bust my ass at the gym everyday to still not be completely happy with my body.... And i wanted to wear a bikini... DAMN-IT.... So i did it... i had my TT.... i have not regretted it not one single day. Next to WLS it was the best gift i gave myself. I wish you luck with your decision.... which ever you make Now do i still look at my self and say... I WISH.... hell yes i do. Im almost 47 and the wrinkles are showing more and the grays are coming faster... but i have to say... all in all, im good with me.

Sleveee... how did you know something was wrong with your band?

I swear you read my mind.....lmao

Love this post.... Lets seeing come from a a very large family. My dad has 20 brothers and sisters... I survived rape at 13. I had a child, got married and divorced before I finished high school. Which I know is nothing to brag about but I learned to survive. He was a drug and alcoholic who cheated from day one. Put myself through collage while raising a kid alone. Fast forward..... Last year I knocked a few things off my bucket list.... I got my concealed carry weapons license and became a certified range instructor. And stared in my very first play at our local theater. I was Barbara in Murder most fouled up. I had the best time. I have two grandkids that most people think are mind. Lol This year I plan to sky dive

I miss my old friends that use too come here

You know I made a post..... But I'm deleting it..... So not worth my time any more.... I'm going tan. Later

Wow. Angry much..... Cleo....You really need a hobby

I think your a Troller.... with nothing else to do with your life except throw your .2cents in. You have been here for 4 years and have accumulated a handful of "friends".... you have updated nothing about yourself except that you had LB surgery. Don't even have the ball to come from behind your computer screen to post a pic.... yet your criticize most everyone. I went back and read the posts in question and saw you continuously attacking others for disagreeing with your opinion. maybe you should take a long look in the mirror and re-evaluate who you really are and why you feel the need to think your always right. The reason i asked if you worked is because.... if you did, i would bet you don't get along with the people there either.

I never said any one was not being truthful.... What i did was compare being truthful and being rude... What i said was..... some people say im rude... i say im just being truthful... BECAUSE it's easier to keep up with truths than lies.... If you ask me i will tell you, Yes that dress does make your ass look big.... even when i was big. but my friends knew that if they wanted some one to be honest, i was the girl for the job. So that being said... had some one said... I don't know why im not losing weight... all i ate today was a few donuts, hand full of chips.... etc. .... then i would say, it's because your eating CRAP... Im not going to say.... (insert sweet voice) well maybe you should think about what you ate today and write it all down and analyze it.... UGH... A few years ago when this use to be the LB forum we had a girl ... that would attack people for going against HER view of what she thought was right and wrong.... Off subject question for you Cleo.... do you work outside the home? just curious.... People need to walk on gravel to thickening up there skin... JS

damn... I need to start hanging out in Sleeveland.... Lapbandland is not this fun anymore. We use to be... lol I started reading this, and then had to stop, but man am i glad i got back too it. I wish i could find an old post that was about this same issue. anywho... I agree with the OP... I have also been accused of being a "bully" and all those other names... but i just call it "being honest". Like my grandma says... It's easier to keep up with truth's than lies. There was this LB girl that use to get on her high horse when she thought people were being "rude".... Now i can't remember her name.... Damn getting old sucks. b-52, help me out... Who was she?

Thanks for making me laugh....

Drinking with meals is a hard one too break. Even harder is getting the waitress to stop asking..... Are you sure you don't even want a Water... Ugh. I smile and say. While I appreciate your concern.... I don't want anything... Thanks Eating slower.... I found that I ate faster when I was hungry. I tried not too let myself get that hungry. I also found that until I could control my chewing. I cut every bite in size about the same as the nail on my pinkie finger. Cut it all up first, than ate one bite ... Put down my fork, closed my eyes and thought about what that bite taste like. Also turning off the tv, putting down the book.... Not standing to eat... But sitting down with no distractions. Soups were my friend for a while. Baked fish, peas, Beans, eggs, cooked carrots. This helped me. Hope it might help you also....

I love reading. I have not always did. Just in the past 15 years or so. It relaxes me

have you read any of the Blackdagger brotherhood trilogy? it is about vamps.... but different. hard to explain.

Most... PS want a person to wait till they have been in are around the same weight for at least 6-12 months before they will do TT... but hey... not everyone's the same. If the consults are free... what's the harm.. You have to do what you feel is right. It's a huge decision.... "weight"... hehe... the Pros and cons.

Thanks for sharing Jake.... by the way, Jake is one of my fav. names....js. anywho... My friend and "lapband" mentor had to have her band removed last month and she opted for the sleeve. I talked with her yesterday as a matter of fact and she is SOOOOO happy with the sleeve. I hope and Pray that you have great results also. Please keep us posted.

maybe it's a houston & louisiana thing.... one of my mentors, had surgery at the university of Louisiana and they took her skin to the LSU burn center .... this was 8 years ago, maybe things have changed Not sure

i would deff do a consult or two or three....now. How long has it been since you have lost any lbs? if it's been a while, your body may be telling you.... Hey, this is where i belong..... Removing 15-20lbs of skin is a lot.... and if your already a 6 ... i would think that you would end up in 2-4 jeans.... Some ps also do skin donation and will give you a discount.... Never hurts to ask

I have had a few people Personal Mess. me asking to see my scar from my Tummy Tuck. I had it done April 2012. These pics are before and afters..
