Lost 16 pounds in one day!!

Cindi.........my LB surgeon recommended that I go ahead and get the pani removed...no amount of weight loss or exercise is going to take it away and it was impeding my exercise ability and giving me backaches and balance problems....and it won't grow back> PS agreed, said he did that all the time. But afer I get to goal, I will probably go back and get some more work up above that area....but not until I've lost all I'm going to.

Cool...extra boost mid way! We have the same wonderful surgeon, and I'll see him I guess at 9 months. I feel like I'll have to do the tummy area (most of my weight is there), and the breastals for my ego. Ego at age 50...I should be shot! Ha! But the band really does make you feel good about yourself again, doesn't it?

Congratulations on your amputation! I can't wait until I am close enough to do it. I will keep your surgeon in mind. I might like a drive to Dallas. I will also need my boobs put back where they used to be....hanging on my belly isn't quite working for me.

If I were to add up all of the weight I have lost and gained...ANd all of the money I have spent getting HEALTHY.. I would have paid the the lap band 3 times over!

There so many going thru such a battle to get some insurance help. Like being in this state isnt hard enough! I ended up being private pay. Luckly I have for the Best Doctor in the world! He is sooo affordable!

I was having trouble Getting my surgery and financing also. But I found an awesome Dr. and my lapband only cost 5500. my surgery date is 5/19/09. Email me if you need and awesome Dr. for pivate pay. experiance.success.leah@gmail.com
