What surgery did you have? Lapband

Male or female? Female

How much weight did you lose? 84 so far with a lot more to go!

How fast did you lose your weight? Sometimes it drips off me, others it feels like it's going to hang on forever! Was banded late July 2013.

If you are female and didn't have cosmetic surgery, are you comfortable enough to go to the beach in a bikini? PFFFFT. lol

How much loose skin do you have? My arms are going to be really bad, I can already tell. I'm not shocked though, I've always had huge arms anyway. If I ever get up the nerve and money in the future to have plastics, my arms will def be the first to go. I'm just now starting to see signs on my stomach of how much skin there's going to be, I think it will be relatively substantial but possibly not so much that I will feel like I absolutely have to have a Tummy Tuck to go on. I'm worried to see how my thighs and legs will end up. I've always had tree trunks for legs. I can't even visually imagine what they will look like if the fat is ever gone off of them.

How fast did you lose your weight? Lost 100lbs in the first seven months.

If you are female and didn't have cosmeticr surgery, are you comfortable enough to go to the beach in a bikini? NEVER! Bikini days were over after carrying twins full term followed a few years later by a 10 1/2 pound baby boy! Lol

How much loose skin do you have? I have saggy belly, saggy arms, saggy butt, saggy thighs, and totally deflated saggy, baggy boobs (went from a 46D to a 36B). My insurance might pay for my belly. I'd like to fix my breasts but it's not critical to my happiness.

The first four questions you asked are answered by looking at my profile.

how fast have you lost your weight? I have averaged 4.5 pounds a week.

I would not be comfortable being seen without a t-shirt on.

I do not have a lot of loose skin. I do have those flabby bat wings.

I'm a 42 yr old lapband patient. I have lost a total of 90 lbs and almost 40 inches all over in two and a half to three yrs post op. I do have some loose skin but will not have reconstructive surgery to get rid of it and no, I will not be in a bikini but I do wear a two piece. Can't show my scars and port.

Very fast the first 3 months, and finally hit goal weight around 20 months post op. Have since gained about 15 pounds back.

If you are female and didn't have cosmeticr surgery, are you comfortable enough to go to the beach in a bikini?

I don't qualify to answer this question, but I would say that I've had no cosmetic surgery "yes" anyway to the bikini. :P Seriously, I don't mind wearing just my swim trunks on the beach and have many times the past few summers.

How much loose skin do you have?

None

      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.
