I need to start going to the meetings again as I did learn new things too! I am stuck at a 103 lost, I want to lose 50 more at least then I want a PANNI!!!! OMG I hate that roll. Did you guys have a tuck too while you had your PANNI?

I am gonna make an appointment for a fill as it has been over 1.5 years since I had gone. BADDD but I still feel restriction but I need more restriction I guess b/c I know I can eat too much!

Anyway I wish this list was as talkative as it used to be....

They have had some problems with a few of the band patients and they are doing the swallow on a regular basis now. Some of the band patients are even going back and having the by-pass or the sleeve done. NOT ME! I need to correct my statement of the "Panni" surgery. Actually, I had the abdominoplasty surgery done. My belly button was rearranged, 17 pounds of loose skin removed, I no longer have handles on each side of my belly, and I no longer have a roll hanging down over my pubic area or problems with rashes. I do still have a roll around my middle but it's a long story as to WHY he isn't dealing with it for now. He did say I could have my arms done next Fall (I need a year's recovery from this one) as he prefers to do these types of surgeries in the Fall/Winter due to faster healing. We are having to consider my age (70) in having elective surgeries done. BTW, the swallow is no big deal...you'll be there maybe 30 min total.

Ahhhh Glad to hear it isn't a big deal....

I am sooo tired of the rashes, I haven't seen a plastic surgeon yet b/c I still want to lose at least 50 more pounds, however my roll is prob bout 20 pounds... I have had my derm doc and my gyno note the rashes as well as my primary doc since I have had them for a long time...

I was telling my sisters about having the roll removed and how I don't even need a belly button, they just crack up but I am serious... LOL I sure hope they can do a tuck or something with the middle roll for me... I just turned 35 last week!

Glad to hear your surgery went good! When is the next group meeting? I miss going but seems like there is just always something! Baseball, then All-stars, then Football and now we are in the Football playoffs....

This link for Drs. Miles and Schmitt's patients looks like it used to be frequently used. How is everyone? Anyone from the group interested in sharing their band stories?

Hi everyone! I hope everyone is well! I am doing great! Actually almost 10lbs below my target! That was a surprise. I struggled there for a while. I was having terrible eating spells, because of PMS. Luckily I found a doctor that took me seriously and placed me on birth control pills (I had been fixed since 2001 - LOL). I have been on them for about 10 months and have lost about 20 lbs! I had my Tummy Tuck in July 2011. It took about 8 months for the swelling to go down. Now I am right where I want to be. It is so nice to have my life back! So nice to look forward to getting out and being around people. I am not hiding anymore!!

I Hope everyone else is doing well!!

Much love to all!

Hi Shawna,

Good to see and and especially good to see someone back on this website. You are doing great. I don't think I have seen you since Spring 2011. As you can see from my ticker and profile, I have had my ups and downs, but am back on track since I had my band replaced. The tubing in the band was leaking which I am told is very unusual. So I am doing well and fighting to lose these last 32 pounds.
