Hi all,

I am waiting to have my surgery and have a lot of questions! This one is for those who have been banded for some time.

I have really bad cellulite on my legs and I'm wondering if I lose a significant amount with the lap band will that go away, or will I still have pockets on my legs? REALLY wanting this stuff to be gone!

You don't have the choice I need.

It has gotten less but it is still there.

I am about 7 lbs from my goal but the cellulite is still there and noticable. I doubt that it will totally go away on my legs.

Your choices are 1)it is still there, 2)it is going or 3)it is gone.

I think it has gotten worse for me. my thighs look like cottage cheese lol. The skin on my thighs have gotten loose so i think it makes them look worse.

I have same problem. Just banded though. I am thinking I will have to have a thigh lift but not sure that will take care of the cellulite.

I still have it, I'm sorry to say. I'm not BADLY afflicted with cellulite, but my family does run to loosish thighs!

I have much less than I had and its restricted to just below the buttocks, and on the buttocks. I have an awful ass, plain and simple, but the afflicted area is now fairly small, I can definitely wear running shorts and such.

Its why I'm still confident to wear a bikini and such at 42. I mean, nothing I wear bathing suit wise is going to hide my upper thighs! So I just let it all hang out and dont worry about it. I have much better shape and tone than I used to and than almost anyone I know my age who's had 3 babies, so I feel very blessed.

for a while though, I think it actually was WORSE. Then it improved.
