youknowit 11 Posted April 20, 2007 Ok, so here's my thoughts on the tanning, not that it's bad or whatever, but it won't help with the stretchmarks/white fat, because it will only (from experience) make that stand out MORE. Especially if you have stretchmarks that are really scared and you permanently darken them... when you eventually stop tanning or whatever is when that all becomes MORE noticeable, and it's kind of icky (again, from experience... I'm now trying to reverse this with lightening creams, Strivectin, etc)... You might try the Mystic Tan, which you can get at the same places as the tanning beds (usually), and the Mystic seems to cover everything including the fat and marks well, and it doesn't have any nasty effects. It's a bit sticky and you have to really let it dry, etc, but it's a pretty cool thing, I think. On losing, this is not the time to be losing, but to be healing. I'm sure you know that. Your body just went through a trauma, give it time. I didn't lose much in the first few weeks, and many of us don't lose until we start getting fills... You're doing great at 5 lbs! Hang in there!

Vegaswildflower 0 Posted April 27, 2007 Im a body pump junky have you tried the class?? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anniejo 0 Posted April 27, 2007 Hi, no I don't know about that class. I'll take a look at the catalog. I was banded 4/10/07 still trying to be careful. Also, probably couldn't keep up w/a demanding class yet. That due as much to age as weight...but willing to try. j Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sharon160 0 Posted September 21, 2007 I have a question for you all. Are there any fill doctors down there that will fill you if you got surgery somewhere else (Mexico or other) Sharon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stella 0 Posted September 27, 2007 Yes. Call Fill Centers USA. I think the center is on West Cheyenne. Don't think they use Fluro though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Desperate2lose 0 Posted October 25, 2007 Hi gals: I'm in Vegas too. Silverado Ranch. Not banded yet but hope to find a way soon. Was about 10 seconds away from going to Betancourt in Mexico before I found this thread. Now, not so sure, though my friend Susan had excellent results there. What insurance do ya'll have? I need money help. My credit sucks though. I am DESPERATE to lose. It seems like weight creeps on every second. I can't stop it no matter how hard I try. I even had my thyroid tested. It was fine. I work from home so even though I play tennis a lot I think my body is too used to it. Anyways, thoughts on insurance or crappy credit loans would be appreciated! Thanks. 229 and miserable.
