i'm pms'ing this morning....lol...but i must get this off my chest...let me start off by saying this...i LOVE to c success with the band...LOVE IT and i hope all those banded and getting banded r successful on their weight loss journey...i also love to look at photos..but aaaaa and i won't mention names and i have looked in2 what i'm about to say its not out of jealousy but i feel like credit is being taken from those of us who have the band and work hard with this tool...there r some "people" posting pix that have NEVER had the lap-band or any other type of weight loss surgery...i don't get what the point of coming on here and posing as some1 that had surgery is...if u want to show off ur nice body...be my guest...but do it on facebook..myspace...etc...etc...this site is for people that worked hard and lost weight with the band.

Thats funny I looked at a photo album today and thought the same thing!! How the person suspiciously had no scars and while I know some surgeons can only make one incesion but umm.. they were also TINY and you couldn't see their port anywhere? I'm pretty sure, if and when I get to be size 2-I expect to see my port a little...

My question would be, "why would you post yourself as a success story period? Obviously looking for attention, Are you proud to say you were a fat girl?" If I had the opportunity to go somewhere new and meet new people whether online or not and I was skinny, not one person would ever know I was fat at one time. Me and so many others hate being fat, we all have a story to tell but there is a time and place for it.

Yes, you are PMS-ing. It was you who started the thread saying you dont like this person showing pics of no sign of surgery, suggesting they are posers. I'm saying even if they never had surgery why would they come to claim they ever did, for attention! Now you want to come back at me for what, because I said fat girl? Yes, I said fat girl! You are a fat girl, I am a fat girl, everyone here is or was fat at one time. We have the surgery to make it better, we have the scars as proof. YOU posted about these people and those missing scars. I posted about about why would they. Unless those pics were you Im going to assume you are talking about someone else because I was.

      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! 😞
