Wow! beautiful transition. I think they got married before she lost weight too.

Also, I think with scaring it just depends what type of healer you are. Some people get the bumpy look(forget what it's called) and others heal very well and it would be hard to find their scars.

A family member of mine had Thyroid cancer and they open up her neck from ear to ear. A year later, I have to really look closely to see the scar. She wears low cut shirts and no makeup and honestly, you can barely see her scars. She's in remission. Lucky woman - in more ways than one!

I think scar damage depends on heredity as well, I am a cancer survivor and I had an access port sewn into my right upper chest/shoulder area. You have to look very very hard to see the scars now 1.5 years later. If I put some cover up on it, you wouldn't be able to see it at all.

How about Peter Jackson (director of Lord of the Rings)? He's looking much thinner these days. And what about Billy Bob Thornton? He was heavy for a long time before hooking up with Angelina Jolie. What a freak show the two of them together were! But he's managed to keep the weight off for a good 10 years now. Maybe he had the lapband done in Europe.

Didn't the one nurse on ER have bypass or something? She dropped a HUGE amount really fast between seasons, then began gaining some back---I don't even know if she is on the show anymore.

She actually did the liquid diet @ the Duke Weight Loss Center. Ruben Studdard recently did the same thing.

Star Jones has a weird looking head too. Like her skull bones are too big. It just looks odd like she might fall over from the weight of her head.
You know, I have noticed that about a lot of RNY patients. Not necessarily when you see them in person, but in pictures.

Hi, I love John Goodman from Roseanne. He is adoreable. Maybe it would help him in his obesity battle to get banded. He is an attractive man. He would be even more handsome if he dropped the weight. What about John candy? Had he lived would he have had surgery?

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
