Great Job! So were right together! My scales turned to 100 Christmas morning, awesome Christmas present...BUT...Those darn scales haven't budged since that morning! And only 15 more to go that's so close! I still have 38 more...doesn't seem like much though after loosing 100 though! Don't ya just feel awesome! I know I do! You look beautiful! Hope that last 15 comes off quickly for you!

Past weight history question.
LaDawnS replied to TapSnap's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
If anything I would think it would help you! The insurance looks at the fact that you had the willpower to loose that much. As my surgeons said, most of us that are so much over weight are there because we have health issues that put/keep us there. There are very few people in our positions that can loose that amount of weight and keep it off without the aide of WLS. Good luck! -
WOW! Laura! You look Fabulous! Great Job! I take it things are going well! Sorry, I rarely get on here anymore...obviously. Need to change that though it's a great site! How much have you lost now? I'm right at 100 pounds but have been at a plateau for about 3 weeks...HATE THOSE THINGS!!!!
Look forward to hearing from you! Happy New Year!

I have 35 more pounds to loose and I can definately feel my port if I push down on it but I don't think it'll protrude at all once I'm at goal. I've lost 100 pounds in 8 months.

DEFINATELY!!! I've lost 81 pounds in less than 6 months, am off all medications-cholesteral, high blood pressure, diabetes, heart & P.C.O.S meds! No more joint pain! Feel incredible! Sleep Apnea is improving and my family can put their arms all the way around me when they give me hugs! It was the best thing I've ever done for myself and my health! Wish I had done it a lot sooner! -
I was banded on May 1, 2009-almost 6 months ago. I started loosing hair by the handfuls also at about 4 months. I was told by my dr. to use Nioxin or Pantene and to take biotin. He also said to make sure that you are getting in at least 65-75 grams of protein a day. I'm at 5 1/2 months now and it is slowing down substantially. Apparently it's a normal process and it'll start growing back after a couple months, so don't worry too much. Good luck!

Hi Jeepman, Like I said in the previous post...get the nose pillows if you can! My C-pap is set at 15, hoping to go way down on that setting soon. Good luck with yours! They really aren't that hard to get used to, and you'll feel SSSOOO much better!

Tory, Did you use the mask or the nose pillows? I have severe sleep apnea and use the nose pillows, they're so much easier to deal with than the mask!!!!! I'm very closterphobic!!! I had to redo my first sleep study because I had an anxiety attack because of the mask! Once they gave the pillow I had no problem. You really do feel a lot better once you get used to the machine. It was like night and day for me! I just did a home apnea link and am hoping that I can turn down my C-pap setting since I've lost 70+ pounds. I really hope to get off completely soon. Good luck with yours!

Thanks for the sweet compliments! I feel great! How are you doing with your process? When did you have surgery? I love your hair, it's so cute! I just had 5 inches cut off because mine has been falling out, too thin to be longer! It does seem to be slowing down thank goodness...I can't afford to loose any more! -
Hi Maria,
Thanks for the sweet compliment! I didn't really feel much restriction until my second fill. How are you doing with your weightloss? You're a month out? Good luck with everything! Just follow dr.'s instructions and you'll do great!

Thanks Annie, I feel great! Wish I would've done this many years ago! Congrats on your banding! Good luck with the fill! They really aren't bad at all. How have you done so far? -
Laura, you look amazing! Way to go with the exercising! I'd probably loose a lot better if I'd be consistant with the exercise! You're inspiring girl! Keep it up! Make sure you have a video camera to get the expressions on your families faces! I'm looking forward to the same thing at Christmas time with family! Oh yes, I do know what you mean about the strange sounds...very odd isn't it!? Not to mention embarrassing at times!

Thought I would throw in some "before" shots so you can see how I looked before all of this...
