Has anyone else done anything as stupid as I did as spenidng almost 10,000 just to turn around and have the lap band which will make me lose weight (yeah!) but make my tummy not look so good...

just wondered?

No, but I could sure add up 10,000 worth if crap that Ive bought that in truth I neither wanted or needed over the past ten years.

Look at the bright side, you ave much less of a gut than you w ould have done. That makes you more mobile and means your weight loss is going to be much more visible and not hidden by a huge apron of skin. If, like the majority, you have a bit of loose skin, it may be little enough that youre happy to live with it. Dont forget also that the most stretched out skin in the worst condition us gone, what you have left may cope better. You may indeed want revision surgery, which like most people you may have to scrimp and save to afford. Either way youre better off with most of that flubber already gone.

So dont regret the outlay, most of us in reality have spent a lot of money over the years on all sorts of crap that hasnt really benefitted us much.

yep. i did the whole LBL 7 years ago and the ballooned. My stomach is tight and hips are thin, but I look like a linebacker! I hope this does not create problems in the surgery with all the scar tissue.
