Never Again

hi kelly... i do think you should wait. i got a breast life and body lift a bit early... becaue my skin still hadn't adjusted properly it still continued to get loose. so if i could i would have waited a little bit longer before doing it. How much more do you want to lose? get to the goal and then go for it. as long as it isn't causing any issues like rashes or anything like that i suggest waiting...

hey there... thanks for the comment... looks like you'll be banded soon. let me know when... i'll give you some of my secrets... also look at my profile page.. i had answered some questions there....

oh and of course i really watched what i ate... i didn't care about anything except losing the weight... my determination was the main reason for my success. i would go out to dinner with friends and just watch them eat.. it was hard seeing and smelling the food but i didn't care.... i wanted to lose the weight. it was a hard 8 months but since then i've been able to eat whatever i want... of course within limits... but once you reach your goal it's all about maintaining... not as hard.... so my suggestion to all pre-band patients is to make sure they are mentally ready to make this change. go for your weight loss no matter what... don't worry about any food you might be missing out on... cuz later you'll be able to eat it... (after you lose the weight)... like me...

during my weight loss period (7 1/2 months) i started on the treadmill 15 min a day (i'm talking walking at 2.0) and then ended up walking around 45 min at 3.5. And of course the last few months i started doing sit ups. got the surgery in jan and by aug i had a six pack... i had minimal loose skin but after all that hard work even having a little bit bothered me.. so in oct i had a body lift along with a tummy tuck... since the tummy tuck i lost my six pack but plan on getting it back hopefully soon.

I had it done 1/18/08.... and I lLost 92 pounds in 7 1/2 months... how about you?
