Let me know how it goes i'm 3 years banded but had less than 100lbs to lose. I'm a slow loser I would love to see how things work out for you guys.

My first procedure was done in 2001. I had a breast reduction from 38DDD to 36C. I am now a 38D (I had another son in 2004) so that kind of changed things. I would like to get them fixed to be a little fuller. But over all one of the best decisions I ever made. The second was the LB done in 2006. My scars a very minimal and my port scar is about 4 inches lower than it was when it was first done. When I got down to 160ish my port stuck out like a sore thumb. I also had my teeth done {Vaneers (sp?)} in 2008. Again best decision ever I smile like never before. Better than braces ever did! I would love to have a tummy tuck with lipo. I have two boys that were both 10lb each. I am 5'1 needless to say I was streched everywhich way. My tummy has never recovered. Add the weight loss and its even worse. I have alot of saggy skin I pull up to see what I would look like with out it. So in the mean time I wear a body slimmer just one of the high waisted kind without the leg part. I works but I cant wait to get rid of it!

In October I will have been banded for 4 years, and I am going to celebrate by getting to my goal or close as hell to it!:confused: Current BMI 34/ 180lbs ...eek:crying: Goal BMI 25 or 125 lbs That is 50-55 lbs to loose in 6mos. Im a slow loser. So if anyone has any tips I would love it!:biggrin:

:smile:Good morning losers, I have discovered Chocolate Cherrios....these are awesome. I put some in a baggie this morning to eat for breakfast along with my coffee (not together of course) and I am felling pretty good. Not sure yet if they are good for your or not but it did help with my sweet tooth. Also I thought I would post my revised work out schedule for anyone interested... Monday...Spin/Cycle 1hr class Tuesday...Cardio Kickbox 1hr class Wednesday..Spin/Cycle 1hr class Thursday...Strength training/Bootcamp 1hr each Friday...Spin/Cycle 1hr class Saturday/Sunday light swim, walking or bike riding witht he kids :confused:

Well I guess I am no longer considered a newbie. Banded 10/2006 and have 3 fills. I have gained 15 of the 40lbs I lost. WOW I never ever thought that would be possible. BUT fellow new bandsters it is. As a food addict I learned how to eat around my band junk food is my vice. As I look back can now see that I am a slow loser. I started at 215 and got down to 160-165. And thats were I got discouraged. I saw everyone else losing and looking great and I was just inching along. I went back into my old way...now I for sure cant eat as much as I used to, believe me I tried and have PB'd more than anyone should. So here I am re-dedicating myself to the band lifestyle. I must say that here is where I find the most support. I dont have a doctor, no support group, in fact I have new insurance and am finding it difficult to get fills covered 1) due to pre-exisiting clause and 2) hard to find a doc who will take someone elses patient. Anywhoo, I will be blogging alot more often..see ya later:thumbup:

WOW it does feel good to know that I am not the only one that found ways to eat around my band. Great support and workin out is the only way to beat that way of cheating. I hear if anyone needs to talk,vent or confess...lol
