Question about the tata's-lift/reshaping/reduction
MelindaBaltimore29 replied to mi75's topic in Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
So when I started out I was a 36 F and now I'm a 32 D because of skin I think I'm more like a B if you hold all the lose skin tight at least they still look ok in a bra but from going from huge to flat I kinda miss having just a little something so I'm looking in to reduction and implants as well can't wait. -

I have had several friends with the band and out of 3 friends 2 of them had it removed and had bi pass done both of them would go up and down then the other one gained 100 pounds back after all you do to lose it I would never want to gain it back I'm 17 months out by 1 year I was at my goal weight I had rny and I'm very happy with my results and choice -
I have to say it was scary for me the first date most of the time are dinners or drinks etc how do you explain to this guy you meet I had bi pass etc or you can't eat and drink at the same time. I have learned it's not always easy and get ready to answers a lot if questions you well meet the jerks but out of it I met this amazing guy and we gave been together almost a year and talking about getting married things well all work out I used match and don't care what people say or think if they don't like you for you move on cause remember you did this for you and you should be very happy you have made it this far

who cares if it is the easy way out?
MelindaBaltimore29 replied to chefkelly's topic in Rants & Raves
Agree 100 % it's not easy and most people could not handle what we have to go threw and to stick with it. I was always small tell I went on fertility to have a baby I gained and had prob so I know how people treat you different and how people think it's easy way out. I had a friend of mine say that to me and I'm like I want you to go 2 weeks with only liquids then come back to tell me it's easy -
