That is very true! ultimately its still up to you to loose the weight, there's two options. 1. Work with the band: loose weigh:thumbup: 2. work against it: put on even more weight:thumbdown: i know what i will be choosing Wish you all the best hun ((((hugz)))

gosh, you must of been in such pain. But the main thing is you are safe and well now. Did you find it easier to loose weight with the band or bypass? x

Definatly...!!i will turn up to the office in the near future with my sexy new bod lol, and i will tell her where to stick her "weight loss surgery doesn't work":biggrin::cursing: I have done the same, after all of their negative comments, i am going ahead and doing it privately. although it will cost me, there is no price 2 big for my health. Afterall im sure ive spent far more than what surgery is costing me, on the food that got me here in the first place. Good luck with your journey xxx

Your welcome hun:wink2:, wish you all the best for surgery on fri! (((((hugz)))))

Hey hun, try and stick it out, i know its hard and your body is telling you, you want food. But you can get through it. Do you have any suger free squash that you could add to your Water to make it taste better? Keep drinking....are you pre or post band? Are you eating enough? How about going for a walk, or having a nice long soak to take your mind off eating. xx

hey! it also made me giggle, but i have done it myself many times!!! You would think i would of learnt my lesson to read the labels properly. And i dont even have the excuse that a label was covering the lettering, just me just being impatient and not reading!!. lol

i was wondering when this was gonna come up, i was watching a video the other day on you tube about a woman talking about how hers had changed after she lost weight [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K6XixDSk7Jg]YouTube - My vagina looks & feels different after WLS (gastric bypass)[/ame] I too haven't seen it in years lol...so not really to bothered about it, as they say you dont miss what you didnt have, but in my case, i dont miss what i dont see LOL!!

:ohmy::cursing: LOL!

lol i was about to say that's pretty expensive for just a wax...lol Hope you have a lovely day at the spa, spoil yourself rotten. (i would 2 if i had the money):biggrin2: my pain threshold is very low...having my eyebrows threaded is enough pain....only god knows how im gonna handle the surgery pain. Thank god for paracetamol and pain relief is what i say!! lol

WHY MEN ARE LIKE COMPUTERS...LOL:lol: 10. They have a lot of data but are still clueless. 9. A better model is always just around the corner. 8. They look nice and shiny until you bring them home. 7. It is always necessary to have a backup. 6. They'll do whatever you say if you push the right buttons. 5. The best part of having either one is the games you can play. 4. In order to get their attention, you have to turn them on. 3. The lights are on but nobody's home. 2. Big power surges knock them out for the night. 1. Size does matter

ahh thanx! so is augmentation with an implant then? (You learn somthing new everyday!):cursing:

Hey! Sorry to read about the complications that you had with the band...but i was wondering how the band got into the stomach because it is fitted on the outside:huh2:. Did your doctor who removed it say how it might if been caused? eg being misplaced incorrectly by the orginal surgeon who fitted it? How did you find eating after gastric bypass?....hope there were no complications. I think you still have a good attitude because alot of people with whom somthing has gone wrong with the band are the first to condem it, but as you said you found it a great tool and would still reccommend it. I wish you all the best on your journey and thanks for sharing your story xx>

hey hun! just tried to open your link, but it seems to send me to my email program to send an email to that address. Congrats on your banding date, you can start the count down!

Hey! Im prob not gonna be much help, as i have never waxed but like you have shaved. But when i do shave, i shave EVERYTHING off. cos ive never had it waxed down there im not sure how long it would take for the skin to settle down. I guess it depends on the individual. are you being charged $150 dollars just to get the wax done:ohmy:??? or are you getting other treatments aswell? xx

lol it made me laugh to when i first read it....couldnt help but share it! xxx

whats that? ive never heard of that before....

Hi Honey! Thanks for replying, im sure i can learn lots from you!! Was just looking at your signiture and you have done great in your weight loss, 5stone!! Well done!! i will send you a pm. Thanks hun xxx

Yea thats a good point, thats always a risk. I just hope we dont loose to much up top. LOL girl you make me laugh, but some people nipples are sorts of sizes. Unfortunately mine are on the big side lol

Hey mango...can i have some of your left overs please hehe. How are you feeling about your op? xx

i agree, if they got so flat and looked like loose flappy skin i would get something done. But like you said not so overdone that it looks fake, and make sure its in proportion to my body. But if the chicken fillets could sort out the problem, i wouldnt bother.

i wish i didnt get TOM.....the cramps, getting moody...i just thought of the amount i have had to pay for products....£1000's... For me im very heavy and my periods have always been regular every month, except for one time when i bled for a month straight . The doc said it was to do with the birth control i was on.

Yea i know, she's thinking about getting a boob job. I wish that all the weight would go and i would keep my boobs, i think there the only thing i dont want to go down. But i will wait and see what they look like when i get down to my ideal weight... How many of you ladies would consider getting a breast implants if there boobs had serious srinkage.....???? think i might start a poll

Leslie: thing are looking on the up for you, he is definatly likeing what he is seeing! at least you can have the fun without having to worry about a lil one lol! Enjoy it gal...and dont forget that is extra cals you burning aswell!!! It alll gooooood!!! gone4ever: that one thing i worry about too, losing the breastage!! They aint that big at the mo, well compared to the rest of my bod. Im a double D at the mo, but my sis who has lost weight has gone from a D to an A!! If i do loose it all, i wont hesitate to get them chicken fillets out! lol

love the room!!! i wont be holding back anymore!! Thanks froggie and alex..... its time for gg to go wild...........wooooooooooooooo! lol

Hi Sue! I really do understand what you are saying, im not doing this so i can become a size 0, im doing this for health reasons and to improve my quality of life and not to have to think about every little thing that i want to do, before i do it. Like you mentioned having to know if the seats at the restaurant i want to eat at had arms, not being able to go to themeparks because i cant fit in the rides, being able to walk for more than two minutes without my knees, back and ankles hurting and not having to pay a fortune for clothes!!!
