December 2008, size 8 jeans, 7 months since banding
luckyfive101 commented on Kimmy in MD's gallery image in Member Photo Gallery
Would love to see "Before" pic for comparison! You look great! -
you have done wonderfully! i was banded about a month after you, but i have more to lose than you do. We do, however, seem to have the same "Goal weight" thereabouts.. Keep up the good work! Hope to see "less of you" soon!

Whoa! You look great! Congrats! I have lost 56 pounds in 7 months (scheduled for 3rd fill next month)... I agree... everything is simplier and MORE FUN! I am riding my horse again (wouldn't get on the poor thing before and still won't ride her hard yet! lol!) and I am looking forward to summer! Keep up the good work! I don't know what your goal was, but it looks like you have arrived!

looking good! keep up the good work! i was banded June 20, 2008... Were lap band buddies! -
I have had this often.. My band is VERY FICKLE! One day, I can eat; the next day, I can barely drink coffee... I just take it one day at a time. You hang in there and don't give up.. Usually 2-3 weeks, it will losen up again.. just make sure you keep plenty of fluids down.. and call your doc if you can't! Good luck!

oh, honey, I hope everything turned out ok? When this happens to me, I just go back to liquids for a day or two and everything works out.. Keep us updated! and don't be so hard on your self.. you did get back on track! Hang in there!

JayTee: Lol! I got a kick out of this post! Congrats on your decision... Good luck!

Things I won't/don't miss about being Obese
luckyfive101 replied to MissWilde's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I won't miss trying to make excuses NOT to attend outings with my sons because the "X" will be there and I don't want him to see how much weight I have gained! Lol! Yeah.. That's right....... You know you do it too! LOL! -
Fill Centers USA ... problems and questions
luckyfive101 replied to delrio's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Well, that is very interesting Bubble... I never knew much of this. The person doing my fills is a surgeon, and he is GREAT! He takes his time and listens to MY CARES and what I WANT.. I went to him at first because he was the closest to me, but he travels back and forth between 2 clinics and I make my schedules so that I am sure to see him and ONLY HIM.. Best of luck to everyone out there trying to find the "Best Fit".. -
Fill Centers USA ... problems and questions
luckyfive101 replied to delrio's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hey all! I just ran across this thread today... I use Fill Centers.. and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THEM! They are not condescending, do not belittle me for my choices, are very attentive to my needs/wishes.. and I get EXCELLENT followup! With the economy the way it is now, I know we are all having added financial probs; perhaps that is the reason there is such tension here? I have never seen this kind of back-and-forth arguing on this site. I think we all need to realize we are in the same boat here and we all have the same goals........ a healthier, happier life style. Lets help each other out and not attack? God Bless and Good Luck! Hope to see "less" of you in the future! -
have been following some of your posts.. sounds like you are doing really well! Congrats! How much have you lost total? Would love to see some before/after pics.. I check them daily.. gives me incentive to keep on keeping on! Hope to see "less" of you soon!
-
Good for you! When did you get banded? I, too, am glad I did this (best thing I ever did for myself).. just wish i could have done it sooner! then i would already be at goal by now! lol! keep up the good work! You are a very pretty lady!
-
You hang in there! Congrats on making the decision to do this! Sounds like you are on your way! Good luck!
-
Whoa! you have done GREAT! We have the same surgery date! Keep up the good work.. You are almost home.. I am nearly half way there! lol!
-
I like your "screen name".. Sounds like you are on your way! Have you been banded yet? Good luck with your journey! -

3 WEEKS BEFORE BAND, June 2008 Progreso Mexico - THIS WAS MY HEAVIEST EVER!

Unsure and Dissapointed
luckyfive101 replied to Fluffy_Gurl's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
i absolutely encourage you to go to Tiajuana Mexico! it is like a RESORT HOTEL! they are soooo good to you.. you won't want to leave! i had a wonderful experience there.. and I don't speak a word of Spanish.. and I TRAVELED ALONE! Stayed 2 nights in the hosptial and flew back to Tennesee on the 3rd day.. they are wonderful there.. The place is emaculate and the staff treats you like royalty! I would do it again in a heartbeat! Not to mention the fact that the docs down there (Lopez) are the ones TEACHING the procedure in the United States! Not making this up! Check it out! But, as everyone else is telling you.. It is VERY IMPORTANT that you trust whomever is doing your surgery.. and had I had the choice of flying to Mexico or having it done close to home for a little bit more, I would have stayed close to home too.. Either way, you get the same results..... the band............. and it WORKS.. but it is NOT A QUICK FIX.. it is HARD WORK! but I would do it again in a heartbeat! Good luck and don't give up on yourself! -
This picture is at 50lbs Down! That is a cheesy grin...not very natural looking. But I am happy!
