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 have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
