ok, for those of you out there who have already accomplished your goal (or close to it) here is a link of a place I went to about 8 years ago.

After getting my band and getting close to my goal weight, I am going back http://www.suddenlyslender.com/

I had a HUGE deep scar on my left forearm from changing a lawnmower blade (ugh the days of being single!) and after 3 sessions, it almost disappeared.

I lost 17" the first wrap then 32" more overall after that. Im not sure what they charge anymore, but I got a package deal.

My friend that went with me lost 60+" during our time there. Of course if you are not banded, then you gain weight back you gain all the inches back too :confused:

Wow. You are my hero. I will be satisfied if I am half as successful as you are. What an amazing story. Hey, you could probably sell your story to a magazine and make enough to pay for your surgery.

I would definately do the pictures and submit them to insurance with all the complications that come along with having all the extra skin. I had a cousin that had breast surgery and the Ins. picked up the tab. On one side she was a D cup and on the other a B and ...she got a reduction in one and an implant in the other so now she is a C on both sides. He doctor not only submitted pictures but also had her talk to a Psych about the depression it was causing her......she said it was had to have confidence to try and even date because her breasts looked so different from each other and the Ins. paid. So resubmitt and tell them all that you are feeling. I sure hope they cover this for you. You are so beautiful and so deserving of this.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
