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 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.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
