The Corps wont take me with the band. My goal weight is 200-210. when I get to that the band will have to be taken out, but I only have to wait a month before I can go to boot camp. When I get to boot camp, losing weight won't be any trouble lol As far as the lipozene goes, I haven't taken any, I was just wonderin about what would happen. I am losing weight, pretty quickly actually, in my first weigh in, two weeks after surgery, I had lost 17 lbs. im not sure what I weigh now, I will find out Friday the 12th. I appreciate all of the info, and based on it, I think im gonna steer away from the supplements. Thanks!!!
