Well its been since 8/12/03 and I have dropped 13 lbs with my main problem being sticking to a diet correctly. I still eat way less but can eat anything I've tried so far. The weights coming off though so I guess all goes well for now. Scars healing nicely also.

Got lots of info here and will answer questions as I learn answers myself......

Awesome, Bobby! Doesn't it feel good to see the pounds go!

Speaking of scars, I am using a silicone gel and it seems to reapir the scars. (Started using it about 3 weeks after the bandages came off.) I was using Vitamin E but because of varying theories I checked out the silicone.

What about everyone else? What are you using on your scars if anything?

Great job, Bobby!! Once you get your first fill, you'll notice a difference in your eating. Try your best to stick to your surgeon's recommended diet til then. :-)

lol, it makes me laugh, i wish my band scars where the only ones!!, ive covered from my boobs, to my bum in stretch marks!, i would need a full body skin transplant to see any improvement in these!,

can i have a ton of silicone cream please...well its worth a try ..lol,

i know ill never have the perfect body, but been "normal" with stretch marks, is better than been fat with them!!
