Penni60 45 Posted April 14, 2005 Do a search on Lopez and Ortiz on this site. That should answer most if not all your questions. But I would be happy to fill you in on my experience of Lopez if you PM me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nykee 13 Posted April 15, 2005 I dont know if this will help you.. but its what I am feeling. I would tell anyone in my condition (mind and body) to go. But I dont know what your circumstances are. I happened to be at the end of my rope. I had to just go for it, I got money from back pay SSI.. the only money I would ever have in the world EVER (my insurence excluded it and there was no way around paying cash though I had many co morbidities) I found my doctor in one day on the internet and I made an appointment. Then I went. I hardly even talked to anyone. Up until the minute I went to the hospital I wondered if it was all a scam to get my money.. LOL The thing is: Well, I didnt care if I died.. I didnt care what happened to me at all.. All I knew is I HAD TO DO IT, DO IT QUICK and NOT think too much about it and not listen to anyone about what they thought either.. I was too affraid it wouldnt happen andthat was not an option anymore. Its not that I thought it was safe and I was invinsible... ITS just that I truely did not care. Everyone who was concerned and wanted me to do research, I scoffed at becasue It didnt matter to me at all. I made a will and truely knew it was OK if I died.. it was fine.. the kids and everyone would go on just fine and I would no longer be a burdon. NOW that I am loosing and seeing that I may really have a life after all.. Its a different story! I dont want my lapband to erode or slip or anything and I CANT stanf the thought of it happening... I will fight for my self now.. no matter what happens.. I do know I will never have money like that again BUT maybe I will have outstanding bills.?? I dunno, but If my band messes up.. ITS tHE BYPASS FOR ME!! I DONT CARE if its not a good idea.. it's permanant. anyway.. thats my rant Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vinesqueen 2 Posted April 17, 2005 I am constantly amazed that the Band not only helps one drop pounds, but it is apperntly the fountian of youth as well! When I got home I show this thread to my son, and he is convinced there is no way all your before pix belong to your afters. I can't wait to have my own after pix!
