Target carries a brand by spanx that is very affordable. I love them - wear them everyday. -

Difficulty accepting weight loss

I have lost 72# to date and still have a hard time seeing it. -
How happy are you with your body as you are losing weight?
patyann replied to Joleen's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I just thought about this yesterday when I was wondering how after 65 pounds am I feeling bigger than I did. I do agree, it is because I avoided really looking at my body and being in denial for so long that when I now look I see the damage. I think this may be why it takes a while for our brains to catch up to our bodies because we ignored them for so long we did not really notice how large we were. -
Hang in there! You can do this - you will get your fill and be right back on track in no time. Deep Breath!

Any Regrets after Lap Band Surgery ?
patyann replied to SumthinsGottaGive's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Not doing it sooner - only regret -
Yep - me too. If I am wearing my bra - TIGHT!!! However, this is only in the evening, I am good at lunch. Finkle band.

I work at a hospital - he could and most likely would lose his job if he mentioned it to her. We never discuss patients regardless of how well we may know them

Lap Band Statistics
patyann replied to dyingbreed's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Banded 8 months, down 67 pounds and NO REGRETS (ok one, that I did not do it sooner) -
I have the band and my friend got the sleeve two months before me. She has lost 67 and I have lost 65, she had more to lose than I did, we both work our tools but our bodies resond differently. I suppose it comes down to how much work you are willing to put into either tool. Good luck to you in which ever course you take.

Has anyone NOT had problems with the Lap-Band
patyann replied to hopeful one's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Count me among those with no problems - albeit I have been stuck a couple of times. Surgery was 8 months ago, down 64 pounds can't complain. -
congrats- reward yourself with something you were held back from before you lost the weight, it will empower you. For me I reward myself with a pandora bead for my weight loss bracelet.

Good luck to you - you won't regret it.

Am I the only one....
patyann replied to mysti_kal209's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Look the truth of it is this - You're human - you will fail - you will suceed. If it were easy no of us would be here. As the old proverb says "Fall down 7 get up 8" Good luck to you- know that you can do this! -
Usually the doctor who held the seminar you attended will be your surgeon.

I had my surgery at Silver Cross - great doctors! I too have BCBS and my surgery was covered as were the mandatory pulmonolgist, psychologist, etc. Have you attended one of the meetings yet, if so which doctor will you have Dr. Joyce or Dr. Lahmann? I have had no complications and have absolutely NO regrets- best of luck to you.
