.......if you need some butt.......i am sure myself and others can offer you some.....

well, i did try to check out my fab azz in the mirror but saw no shelf........but saw a cubby hole.......does that count???

here is my hand now here is my hand before

i am so digging this this is fantastic i guess i need to post mine although they are nowhere near as gorgeous as this

a shelf butt what in the world........must ask hub if i got one

congrats on your surgery you just had major surgery so yeah, your body is like wtf??? around day 8 for me i was feeling about 100% just rest, sip and sip and manage your pain with the meds they gave you if you need to hang in there, it will get better

well, try not to panic as that doesnt solve anything i am sure it is fine but if you can, give your dr a call if that eases your mind. ps, dont fart as you may blow a bubble

sorry for all your troubles. thanks for posting and sharing on here. i hope no one (slams you) as you stated. we all have different lives and trials and tribulations that we deal with. nice to meet you.

i have tricare also and they have been a godsend. congrats on your surgery

** What if it doesn't work and I stay fat?** what about asking yourself what if it does work? what if it works and you get healthy? the only way it wont work is if you dont change your eating habits. you can do it

Sadly the band only work if you eat less and exercise more and a lot of the work about 95% has to come from you. The band does work but you have to do a lot of work to make the band work. words to live by..now if just people would adhere to it

as always, jean is dead on. pr my surgeon, i asked him about the dying tissue as i heard it referenced on here often after all, he is the one who did my plication he said if the suturing is done incorrectly and too high up towards the band, there is a chance of tissue decay but he says its very rare. he stressed its in early stages and the results seem positive but stressed patient management to make it work. seems strange that people just toss out assumptions they heard about without asking their doctor about it. no wonder things get (bad) mouthed

having the plication (wont help you) lose any faster (or any) if you dont help the band/plication by changing eating habits and exercising some. its an aid just like the band. its not a miracle cure all. you have to still eat right and exercise. there is no cutting only suturing and if done incorrectly, there can be complications. but any medical procedure has that risk. hope that helps. it was just a decision my surgeon and i made that works for me. and it is just my thoughts.

if so, what are you going to be?

i knew i liked you love if i am successful, its in part to posts like this from you outstanding post

failing something doesnt make you bad to not try is wasting your life you deserve to be healthy you deserve to be you band or no band like you, i was not willing to do the bypass either..

from your post......you seen different people losing or not losing compared to others people are all shapes, sizes and physical abilities some try hard and follow rules..some lose slower..some lose faster (whom are larger sometimes) and then some are just half assed living the band diet and just mosing along.....you cant compare what you may or may not do until you do it...... sure, the bypass will help you lose....but unless eating habits change, you can easily gain weight or not lose at all or lose well and gain it back.......aka carnie if you want the band, make up your mind to get it an follow your dr's orders and do what you have to do or dont get it and remain where you are........ if i didnt, i have no doubt id be over 400 or damn near it... what do you want? only you know honey

must have pictures..................

be wary of maddy and pg......aj and deedee crazy people i am innocent

thats what i am hoping to do gigi we can and will do this.......just keep on trucking......me and you and anyone who wants to join

mad....too much medication perhaps??? i do miss my coors now but dont miss all those empty calories and then id just have to have chips and dips......more calories......such a vicious cycle...
