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...

Hi, I was just wondering...you've already done the whole scene, got the surgery, lost the weight, look great, etc, etc. How come you just joined LapBandTalk? Just curious... I haven't even started and feel like the support here is fantastic and necessary for me. Thanks for the encouragement. Glad you're here!!

You look great! I've lost 75 lbs so far. And like you the little bit of loose skin is killing me. Do you think I should wait to have a lift until I reach my goal. And what do you do to maintain?
-
You look so awesome! I'm still trying to get things started with surgeons and my insurance, but I have 100 lbs or so to lose and would love to get the same results. Thanks for telling us your secrets!

I think it's funny how some of you are replying and saying that the guy in the picture wasn't you... i mean really? we may not have taken bites like that but we ate like that.... OUT OF CONTROL..... I was and still am an emotional eater.... As soon as I hit a down moment I run to food for comfort.. I may not have taken big bites like that but I ran to fun and basically stuffed it down my face to get that comfort. again.. I didn't mean it according to the size of the bite.... i would constantly eat... didn't have to be cupcakes, or chips.. it just had to be something... i would even over eat on fruit... when we were fat.. we ate out of control and that is what i mean about it reminding us of our previous selves. it really isn't a misconception about fat people... the band isn't for people who have medical problems that cause them to be overweight (like thyroid) ... it's for those of us who can't control our portions... we over ate... therefore we got fat......... does anyone get what i'm trying to say???? -

In case your wondering I had surgery 1/18/08... had a nose job 6/08... had a boob job 7/08... but i'm still the same girl.... I lost 96 pounds and most of it in 7 1/2 months...

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.
