Ok for those of you have been banded awhile and have lost at least 50lbs+ have you noticed a change in cellulite? I'm hoping that my cellulite in my legs will be less with weight loss, do I have hope?

I'm glad you ask this question, because I would really like to know too! Mine is awful. But I had it when I was thinner as well, so I am guessing I will still have it when I get to goal. I plan on having Lipo to remove it if it is still there.

I don't know. I'm down 92 pounds and I still don't like the way my legs look. :/ that could just be me because I have a bit of baggy skin in my stomach. That might be all it is. The rest of me looks great but I still have 29 pounds to go. Good Question

I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I'd say there's been NO change to the amount of cellulite I have at all with a 100lb weight loss. If anything, its slightly worse.

I was/am pear shaped, and I still carry any weight I have in the backside and upper thighs. My bum is very dimply ugh, and saggy, and I have some on the backs of my thighs, though the worst of it is hidden in a bikini bottom.

There's just nothing you can do about cellulite, Lipo wont get rid of it and often makes it worse, it would have to be a full lower body lift to stretch it all out and even THAT wont get rid of it all. Its just one of those things, most women have it and some worse than others.

Mine was filled out more when I was fatter and not quite as noticeable.

Mine is mostly in my thighs, and I don't expect it all to go away but I would eventually like to be able to wear shorts with some confidence. Hmm...I guess only time will tell. Thanks for the answers ladies!

      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.
