Hope I was able to set your mind at ease

@@DAWYFE & @Chez2812. Don't be nervous.... It's a piece of cake. It doesn't hurt at all. I've been having my band since November 2009. How does it feel? My doctor places a pillow under the back and that pushes the port up. He then feels for the port with his index and middle finger. Once he has a finger on either side he then inserts the needle. Checks to make sure he is in the port and inserts saline. Has me drink water. That's it..... Done

I'm down 92lbs I was lucky that most everything went back right were it was supposed to be. I exercised 5 days a week also. Only thing that no matter how much I did wouldn't go back was my stomach. So 2/2012 I had a tummy tuck I love it and my confidence went through the roof. But my husband hates it. Mostly because of the attention I now get from others. But I can say from my experience I fine sex is better after. I can relax and enjoy it more now that hat I don't feel self conscious about that apron

Rant:..... November 10, 2009 was when my new life began.... I had the LB preformed and i have to say... it been a hell of a ride. I have luckly had no problems except for a little re flux now and then. Here are some of the starts and now: weight 230 now 139, pants 20 now a 6, shirt XXL now med/large, bra 44H now 34H, shoe 7.5 now 6.5. So here is my RANT.... I've been coming on this site since it was Lapbandtalk... (thanks Alex). I have met the most wonderful people and have made lifelong friends. I have learned so much over the years. Here's my issue.... My understanding is the doctors are trying to get away from doing the band due to failures. But what i don't get is there are failures in ALL the WLS's..... i know many people that gained back most all there weight from GB, Sleeve and the band. I read on here all the time.... "i'm getting my band removed because im gaining and doing the sleeve". Now i know there are some that truly had bad bands placed. But what i wonder is, when these patients go to there dr. are they truly being honest and saying..... I stress eat, or i have learned to eat around the band, or i eat sliders (ice cream, cake and cookies) all day. Are are they just saying... the band is broke and i want to try something else. Don't they realize that maybe it's not the band but something they need to go to a Psychiatrist for. Not saying that i'm the perfect example of a band patient, but i work hard at watching what and how it eat.... When you start gaining again.... Look deep within and ask... what am i doing that is contributing to this...how can i fix it... Be honest with yourself and your doctor... End Rant.

Guy. I'm sorry to hear that. You and I have been friends for a long time. I wish you success. See ya on fb

@Icantbelieveit. Its told him...... Well I loved you more when you use to f**k me more

MY husband told me he loves me more when I was fat

I try not to look at the size but how it fits. I have iTunes with dresses anyway. Because I'm still voluptuous it is hard for me to buy a dress. When the top fits, the bottom is too big and when the bottom fits the top is too small. I'm with Andrea.... I love how I look naked now

@@jccanada Welcome to my world.... My husband of 25 years is the same way. He is always accusing me of the same. Every time I pick up my phone or iPad he says.... What are you doing texting your boyfriend. Finally I just started feeding into it, so now when he says that, I say... Why yes I am, want to say hello? Shuts him right up. I recently asked for a divorce. He is not happy about it at all. I did a disapearing act where I took off three weekends in a row and didn't tell him were I was going or who with. Live your life. Don't wait take your life back. It would not get any better

@@LipstickLady VS suck at fitting people. I had a girl try and tell me I was a DD. I had to laugh. Plus they only go up to a DD in the store and DDD on line @hazelzay. When I started I was 230lbs and my bra was a 44G/H. Now I'm 143 and my bra is a 34H. I Didn't lose any cup size only band size. They are still full and pointing east and not due south.

@@Lindsey Skinner Abbott I had Lb surgery on a Tuesday and was back to work on Monday. Desk job

I would never recommend a product I did use As u can see I think it works great

What can we do about losing our hair.... Besides protein protein... Not much. My hairstylist turned me on to this ... Not only does it cover gray, but it camouflages hair loss spots

so over the years many people have ask .. What can I do about my thinning hair? Well besides eating your protein not much. We all loss hair.... My hair stylest used this and not only does it cover gray... But it helps camouflage thin spots.

I got my band 11/09. I'm a believer that you get out what you put in. All WLS has its pros and cons. I have Maintained a 85-87lb weightloss with minimal issue. I have had friends who's have had LB and Lost and regained. Sleeve who have lost and regained and fb who's have lost and regained. I'm One of few that's has had the band and didn't regain. But one never knows what life has in store for us But I have given it lost of thought as to what if something happened and I have to have my band removed. I know without a doubt I would do the GB

Hold up..... What happened here? I go away a couple days and I'm dismissed?

being nosy....why did you have your band removed?

@@Emmyb2 .... I get the starting Puberty at an early age. I started when i was 9 (period) by the time i hit 3rd grade my boobs were bigger than the teachers. Im 5 2" and started at 230lbs. My bra size was a 44H and now im a 34H. I didn't lose anything in my boobs as far as cup... they still are amazing....full and zero sag or lose skin. I started my WL journey in my 40ies... still have too much breast tissue at 47..lol Good starting point... measure around the underneath of your boobs... around. If it says 30"... your a 34"... add four numbers... if your an odd... like 31" your a 36"... add 5. I have been measured diff ways for cup. I find the easiest... take the tip of the tape find the underneath of your boob straight down from your nipple, come up.. every inch is a cup.... im 8"... so im an H. .... but the best way to know for sure is to get fitted... and like some one said .... don't count on VS fitting you correctly... Most of those girls don't know what they are doing. In my area, i have two.... one is in Baton Rouge the total woman boutique and one in Covington call the bra genie.... I know these are too far for you, but maybe you can use them as a ref to find in your area. Then after i know my size i go to Belle-Lingerie Yes they are in the UK... but they are fabulous.. great selection, great prices... and excellent customer service. I had to return one bra in all the years..only because i didn't read the description and didn't see it was a padded bra.... sent it back, they refunded my CC... no questions asked.

@@OKCPirate trust that i sooooo would have gotten into Ted's vw....lol....

lol..... True story...... in my younger years... and not being a political person back then..... I was out at a club one night and got hit on by David Duke... I had not clue as to who he was or anything about him.... So yes i went on one date with him.... He was actually a very nice guy and super smart. And no he didn't wear the Grand Wizard robe.... heheheheh

You have no one to blame but @@bayougirlmrsc who promised "oral exams" Look it up for yourself. @@OKCPirate .... LOL.... No i never promised "oral exams". some one else asked if there would be.... Anyway my oral exams are more detailed and not sure if any one could pass... LMFAO.

Creepers are everyplace..... I run into them all over...

@@OKCPirate I didn't check out.... im still here and by the way.... no way am i going anyplace. Im still waiting on pictures.. You know for scientific purposes of course.... @@Dub that is one of my fav... movies of all times.....Ive been thinking mr hand... If im here and your here... is't it OUR time...

@@OKCPirate it's all in fun... yall know yall can't take me serious...

@@KristenLe Nothing is to personal.... Im pretty much an open book. I had a TT 2/12... it was the only area that didn't cooperate... the rest went back the way it was supposed to. I started exercising about 2 months after LB... and was in the gym 5-6 days a week... Zumba, walking, elliptical, weights, swimming... Not saying that if you work out all the time that you wont need PS... but i know for me... it def. helped. the PS told me no amount of exercising was going to bring my stomach back. I had two kids by c-section, gallbladder hysterectomy & Lapband surgery... so my stomach was shot and i have most of the scares to prove it... lol
