Ok, so here's my thoughts on the tanning, not that it's bad or whatever, but it won't help with the stretchmarks/white fat, because it will only (from experience) make that stand out MORE. Especially if you have stretchmarks that are really scared and you permanently darken them... when you eventually stop tanning or whatever is when that all becomes MORE noticeable, and it's kind of icky (again, from experience... I'm now trying to reverse this with lightening creams, Strivectin, etc)... You might try the Mystic Tan, which you can get at the same places as the tanning beds (usually), and the Mystic seems to cover everything including the fat and marks well, and it doesn't have any nasty effects. It's a bit sticky and you have to really let it dry, etc, but it's a pretty cool thing, I think. :)

On losing, this is not the time to be losing, but to be healing. I'm sure you know that. Your body just went through a trauma, give it time. I didn't lose much in the first few weeks, and many of us don't lose until we start getting fills... You're doing great at 5 lbs! Hang in there! :)

Hi, no I don't know about that class. I'll take a look at the catalog. I was banded 4/10/07 still trying to be careful. Also, probably couldn't keep up w/a demanding class yet. That due as much to age as weight...but willing to try. j

Hi, I was banded 4/9/07. Dr. Aceves in Mexicali. Live in Green Valley. Also work out at LVAC on Eastern. Usually Water aerobics. I go to the 8:30 or 9:30 a.m. class. Also LOVE the "Lite" class at the Karen LVAC. Have requested that GV offer that. Anniejo

Newbie to the boards. Just wanted to say HI.:confused: I'm currently in the stage of waiting to see what my insurance will do. If they turn me down I'm really considering Mexico.

Hi gals:

I'm in Vegas too. Silverado Ranch. Not banded yet but hope to find a way soon. Was about 10 seconds away from going to Betancourt in Mexico before I found this thread. Now, not so sure, though my friend Susan had excellent results there. What insurance do ya'll have? I need money help. My credit sucks though. I am DESPERATE to lose. It seems like weight creeps on every second. I can't stop it no matter how hard I try. I even had my thyroid tested. It was fine. I work from home so even though I play tennis a lot I think my body is too used to it.

Anyways, thoughts on insurance or crappy credit loans would be appreciated! Thanks.

:) 229 and miserable.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
