What a cutey and how scary. I glad he is ok now.

Thanks for the responses on the loose skin issue. I was hoping to be told different. LOL But I have been this weight for some time now, I know I dont have the elasticity I used to. I did read a thread on here by one of the younger, alot younger girls and she did the tummy tuck. Maybe there will be a medical reason I need one and insurance will pay for it. haha..Thanks girls

I just read this from beginning to end. The caretaker sounds like a golddigger and I am sure that is what most people that know Mr P will think of her as. I cant believe that Mr P didnt even let the brother know his sister had died. Thats just not right. Some people need closure when someone dies and this man was denied that. It was said previously, but I will say again, you are not stopping your husband from being friends with this man. He can do lunch with him, that doesnt mean you must go. I am sorry you lost a friend. But she is without pain now.

Hi...I have a question for that are over 50 with at least 100lbs to lose, do you have a lot of loose skin? I dont know how else to ask that. Thanks

I agree to do this!!!!! That is hilarious!!

My sister had been living away from home for over a year. She had lost a lot of weight...came to town..walked in the door at my Mom and Dads, and the first thing Mom said to my sister was "Doesnt look like you've lost that much weight." My sister started crying, she was ready to leave. I couldnt believe she said that to her. WELL...if you've lost 87lbs its about time you got rid of some size 30's! Good for you.. thats awesome. I FOR ONE AM PROUD OF YOU!!

I have had kidney stones that felt like that.

I am curious to see what everyone says. Thanks for asking that.

Tracy when it rains it pours!!!

Try the heat pad on your stomach and see if that helps.

I think we have all been lurkers here before. I envy your having a surgery date. Good Luck

Don't completely give up. More insurance plans are going to have to start covering this. It is being proven, by all the results that is NOT experimental. You may also get a tip on here that helps things work out somehow for you. I was stopped in my tracks a year ago (different situation that caused it than yours) I know how depressing and frustrated it can be. Good luck and take care.

I tried to add some people to a buddy list, but I cant bring a buddy list up anywhere? Am I computer illiterate or whats the deal?

I was talking to my husband about this exact thing the other day. He said but wouldnt you rather have that and be able to walk around and be healthier. All the skin, thats something I have been worrying about lately too.

Hi Cate..congrats on getting a date. I am in the holding pattern waiting for approval. There is lots of help and tidbits on here. Lots of recipes on the food thread also. Good Luck

Maybe they dont want us to be so full of liquid that we dont eat our protein. Thats my thinking.

Good thoughts and prayers for you. Take care

The Dr that I am going to have do my band gives you a card that says you have a lapband. It's to be used at buffets and such, so some of the businesses let you have the childs price.

That was fast congratulations....do you have a date?

Thanks for your input, I just worry. Seems like now everytime I shower I lose wads of hair. I just cant imagine losing more. I do take vitamins now, so that wont be a problem afterwards.

Even though she says no parties..I believe your birthday is the only day that is just for you. That should be your day. Maybe you could have a few really close friends/family meet you both for dinner somewhere. BYOD (buy your own dinner) Dont do what my husband did for my 50th! Two weeks before my 50th we had bought a new rug for our living room. Not a throw rug..an area rug. It was about $200 I think. Well, my birthday came and went...nothing. I was livid. Finally I broke down in tears and had a screaming fit. He said he thought the rug was for my birthday. I SAID NO THE RUG WAS FOR THE HOUSE. A BIRTHDAY PRESENT FOR MY 50th BIRTHDAY SHOULD BE SOMETHING PERSONAL! ahem..now I feel better. This is the same guy that bought me a can opener the first year we were dating. That one, he will never live down.....I wont let him. I am anxious to see ideas you get here. Good Luck

green...when were you banded? I see where you say you take lots of Vitamins, have you had a problem with losing hair like some talk about? I am not banded yet, I am playing the waiting game right now. But I was shocked when I saw people talking about losing hair. I just didnt even think about that. mnkbrly...you and I are the same age and about the same amount to lose. I will be watching your progress. Good luck and let us know what is going on. take care...Sharon

I havent been banded yet, but it seems alot of it depends on age and how much elasticity your skin has. There is one girl on here that is younger and she says she had more extra skin than she would have guessed. Losing it slower helps tho. I have been lurking here for over a year. The people on here are very helpful and full of so much knowledge that a Dr would never have. Good Luck

They have permission to ectomize anything on me that is extra or making me fat. I have wings on my arms and my thighs, extra boobs, an apron. They can have it all!
