Ok I know this might seem like something silly to be worried about but here we go, I love my breast and they're one my better features and the thing I was wondering is, for the ladies who have had surgery have they gotten smaller? and if so was it by alot? Again I know it's probaly silly but it's just something I've been wondering about. :smile:

Things I won't miss are, thighs rubbing together having no energy seeing if I'm the fattest person in the room wanting to break mirrors when I look in them having trouble with chairs that have arms and bar stools being made fun of by boys feeling uncomfortable at the beach having no pretty panties or bras not being able to find boots that fit my legs not having trouble trying to fit into desks having no energy not being able share clothes with my two beutiful best friends and just not feeling pretty god I can't wait for surgery!

My family has tricare prime too because my dad is retired navy. I didn't even ask about surgery one when my mom took me to a regular doctors appointmen she brought up the lap band to me. Dr.Strickland at clinic in Mayport, Florida is doing my paperwork and everything.

hey this my opion. I just turned 16 last month and I'm still being evaluated, I really have tried everything to loose weight and nothing has worked. I weigh 266 pounds and my doctor thinks it's really good idea to get the lap band. Me, personally I think it's better to have the surgery at this age because you heal easier when you're younger and the longer you go through life being obeist the worst it is on your physical and emotional health as well. So I think ti's great that you're going for it. I wish you good luck

(gulp) I'm only 5 feet almost 5'1 and I weigh about 266 pounds and I'm so worried about saggy skin too, but my weight is contributed evenly and my I have good skin so hopefully that will help some. Sigh I'm still waiting on approval

Ok so I'm only 16 years old and I way 266 pounds. I've been obeist my whole life but it's just getting worse. I've tried everything to lose weight but I just keep gaining pounds and the doctors say despite my weight I'm healthy but I can take being this size any more. I gained over 50 pounds over this past summer alone but I exercised every day and I was on a good diet. Its just no matter what I do nothing works. My doctors has already talked to me my parents about the lap band and told us to come back if we want to discuss it further and my parents have been talking about it too. I just want to be comfortable when i go out with my girlfriends and not have to worry about being made fun of. I want to be around boys with out being so shy. But most importantly I want to be a healthy size and to able to up a flight of stairs with out being out of breathe. I already know everything about the lap band I' ve researched so much. So should I have the lap band surgery?

Thanks so much for the teen link I'll deffinatley check it out and thank you for the support.

Can exercise alone be enough to help get rid of loose skin?
