The band is most definitely worth it. I've always been overweight & had been able to lose up to like 60lb but then just gain it all back. The weightloss in the beginning was very fast & but didn't seem that dramatic. Now that I'm down & losing like 5-10lb a month, I'm seeing more results. But yeah, I think the band is more than worth it.

I made it to 100lb today! I'm so excited. Hopefully I'll be getting a TT soon.

Haha I was thinking that, but I didn't want to be THAT person.

Woo! I'm hoping to get a gym membership this month to jump start my weight loss again. Still no insurance, so I don't think I'll be getting that fill anytime soon. Anywho! 96lb down & 23lb to go. Good luck this month, everyone!

I'm from Decemeber of '07 & smoke everyday! -
Haha you have the same birthday as my best friend, except he was born in 1989. But yeah, I love your website! I am very into astrology & tarot reading. That's so cool that you are able to do that.

My band is getting the job done. I've lost 91lb in almost 9 months. I don't really exercise or anything. I will once I start feeling more comfortable in my own skin.

I love you hair & style. I use to have neon red hair, but my work made me change it back. Lame!

thank you! -
I wish we had the Realize band website for Lap Band. The features they have on there make me very curious.

Did being young help with weightloss?
katiebug replied to blackcherry2002's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I've been banded for almost 8 months now & I've lost 90lb. & to be honest, I haven't worked out for a minute. My job keeps me on my feet from 8 in the morning to 6 at night. I think being younger helps with the weightloss & with the saggy skin. I did get cursed with lots of baggy skin, but I can't even imagine what it'd be like if I was older. -
Did anyone's BCBS cover them with a low BMI?

My surgeon supplied me with some extra weights to throw in my pockets when I got on the scale. Thank you Dr Cribbins! Haha -

I think I would like to lose at least 10lb this month. I need to start hitting the treadmill or at least start working out. But I've been getting the worst gas pains this past month. & all I need is a little problem to make a huge excuse haha. Anyway, I'll keep you updated on the weight loss. I am 89lb down so far! -
7th Months Out . . . Where does the time go?
katiebug replied to christasha's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I haven't lost much this month, maybe about 5-6lbs, but I am pretty okay with that. I do think I need another tiny fill. My last fill was almost too much to handle & if I had insurance still I would have gotten some taken out, but I just rode it out. It took almost two months for me to get stuff down, but now it's going down a little TOO easily. But as of my 7 month anniversary I was down 87lb! A size 16 bottom & L/XL tops when I started a 24 bottom & 2X top. -

I buy two pairs of work pants & one pair play pants with each size. & I buy them from Ross as to not spend too much. -
I can definitely see it, & you look amazing! You're neck looks so much more defined. :thumbup:
-
You can always lose more once you get to your goal. Mine is set at 160lb but once I get there I might change my mind.

Would you get breast implant.....??
katiebug replied to gg2007BandSTAR's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I've officially gone down a cup size & I'm devastated! If I'm already going to get a tummy tuck, why not fix my boobs? -
Gah! I'm in a size 16 as of last night. I'm starting to feel a little bit better.

Any type of probiotic should work. I had this awful problem about two months ago... I went to the doctor & took what they gave me exactly when they told me to take it, but it didn't help. My mom suggested probiotics & now I have a happy vagina!
