Anyone lost a lot of weight and had no excess skin?
surfergirl replied to nervous_newbie's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I AM NOT SO WORRIED ABOUT LOOSE SKIN YOU CAN HIDE IN YOUR CLOTHES.:biggrin: MY PROBLEM IS 2 AREAS. ONE MY UNDER AREMS,,OH SO FLABBY, AND THE ONE I HATE MOST IS MY FACE AND NECK..OMG, SO WRINKLY AND LOOSE, I LOOK AWFUL IN PHOTOS.:sad:.ANY ADVICE? ANY ONE KNOW OF ANYTHING TO USE? I WAS AT ALTRA 3 AND THEY HAD SOME NECK CREAM TO TIGHTEN UP THAT AREA, BUT IT WAS 99.00 A JAR.:biggrin:.YIKES..I'D BUY IT IN A HEART BEAT IF I KNEW IT REALLY WORKED..ANY HELP WOULD BE VERY APPRECIATED DEE..T-ROSE -
I had the same problem, and i got tired of spending money on clothes and only get to wear them a short time. While i am transitioning, thrift stores are the brst.. I have bought so much from there, for my home as well. I have gotten so many compliments and it all cost so little. You will really be surprised t-rose

I GET THAT STUCK FEELING ONCE IN AWHILE, IT IS USUALLY BECAUSE I EITHER AT TO FAST OR DID NOT CHEW WELL, NEVER BECAUSE OF WHAT I ATE..VERY PAINFUL..I CANT EVEN VOMIT IT UP NATURALLY. I USUALLY HAVE TO STICK MY FINGER DOWN MY THROAT TO MAKE MYSELF GET IT UP.:w00t: T-ROSE

Should Medicare/Medicaid cover the band?
surfergirl replied to wrk-n-prgrss's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I have them both and they pay 100% t=rose -
I HAVE HAD BOTH OF THOSE AND IT IS NOT FUN..:w00t: I ALSO NEED TO LEARN TO EAT SLOWER AND CHEW BETTER, IT IS AN AWEFUL FEELING. SOMETIMES I CAN MAKE MYSELF VOMIT BUT SOMETIMES IT JUST DOS NOT WORK, I WILL BURP AND FEEL BETTER AT TIMES. I HAVE A PROBLEM WITH HICCUPS. THEY HAVE RECENTLY STARTED, FOR NO REASON I WILL HICCUP, ABOUT 4 OR 5 TIMES THEN IT STOPS, BUT THIS IS SOMETIME HAPPENING 4 OR 5 TIMES A DAY. I HAVE NOT HAD A FILL IN A FEW MONTHS AND I HAVE NO PROBLEM EATING SO I DONT KNOW WHAT IS CAUSING IT. IF ANY ONE KNOWS THE AWNSER, I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM YOU, ITS REALLY ANNOYING. :scared2: THANKS AND GOD BLESS T-ROSE

HI ALL.. I DO NOT HAVE MANY FRIENDS, :sad: SO I JUST NEED TO TO EXPRESS SOME THINGS AND ASK FOR SOME PRAYERS. ALMOST 5 YEARS AGO MY SON AND DAUGHTER IN LAW LOST THERE BABY GIRL AT BIRTH. SHE HAS 3 OTHER CHILDREN LIVING WITH THERE FATHERS OR GROWN AND OUT ON THERE OWN, THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN MY SONS FIRST AND MINE TOO.. :wub: THEY GAVE UP TRYING AND THEN OUT OF THE BLUE, SHE WAS PG AGAIN. :thumbup: ANOTHER GIRL, BUT SHE IS HAVING COMPLICATIONS, HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE AND SUGAR PROBLEMS, :mad: THEY NOW HAVE HER IN THE HOSPITAL AND ON BED REST TIL SHE DILIVERS, SHE IS NOT DUE TIL NOV, SHE IS 29WKS RIGHT NOW AND THE BABY IS ABOUT 3 :sad: POUNDS, THEY HAVE BEEN GIVING HER STEROIDS TO GET THE BABIES LUNGS STRONGER AND DEVELOPED, THEY WANT HER TO GO A FEW MORE WEEKS, BUT IF THEY CANT GET BLOOD PRESSURE TO STAY DOWN, THEY WILL NEED TO TAKE HER NEXT WEEK. SHE IS SO SMALL..AND SHE ALSO HAS, CANT REMEMBER WHAT ITS CALLED, BUT IT IS WHERE YOUR INTESTINES GROW ON THE OUTSIDE, SO THEY WILL NEED TO DO SURGERY ON HER SMALL BODY WHEN SHE IS BORN. I AM REALLY SCARED FOR MY SON AND HIS WIFE, I DONT KNOW IF THEY CAN TAKE ANOTHER LOSS. MY SON WANTS THIS SO MUCH. I AM TRYING TO BE STONG AND BE THERE FOR HIM. WE CAN USE SOME EXTRA PRAYERS. :thumbup: I DID THIS SURGERY SO I CAN BE AROUND FOR MY KIDS AND BE ABLE TO CHASE MY GRAND KIDS AROUND. PLEASE ASK GOD TO BE WITH US ALL ..WE CAN USE THE XTRA PRAYERS FROM YOU ALL :tt1: THANKS FOR LISTENING AND LETTING ME SPEAK, I FEEL BETTER, AND I KNOW GOD IS LISTENING AND WILL DO WHAT HE FEELS BEST. :tt1: T-ROSE..DEE
