WOW Matt - 211 lbs.!!!! Congratulations How do you feel? Is it a lot easier to live? I don't know about the calves and thigh issue - could some the issue be excess skin??? Have you had a doctor look at it? How about a personal trainer at a gym? Anway -sounds like Sel gave you good advice (as usual!)....

I just HAD to say congratulations and let you know that you look absolutely awesome

Topic: RE: Hip Replacement
HI I am so glad you wrote  Yes Adam did do y evaluations and he did let me know he knew someone who had the lapband...He is soooo nice and very friendly...He also was training a new member of the staff with me her name is Lindsey.. I oved working with both of them. They worked around my schedule because as you probably know the lapband can be it's own ruler and we have to listen to it.. some days are early and other days wait and wait and wait.. Then the medications can cause a problem and now let's talk about the food  yeah more waiting.  But yes I am fine the operation it's self took instead of 2-4 hours   6 hours soooo it's done and I am doing great...You can be very proud of your brother he is a great person...Please feel free to write to me pleae add me as your friend   Joanneg

Hi Joanne,

I just wanted to tell you that my brother in law is an OT at Woodlake. I'm wondering if he was the person who did your evaluation.  His name is Adam Parsons.  I told him that if he ever had a patient with Lapband he can certainly let them know how familiar he is with it since I had it. 

Hope your recovery is going well.

Take care
Cathy

I would call them and ask, they may cover a panniculectomy, which is not a full tummy tuck but it does remove the excess hanging abdominal skin and fat.

Congratulations on your weight loss.

PS. Surgeons will want you to be at a stable weight for about 6 months before surgery.

Hello and congratulations on losing 211lbs! That is fantastic.  Good luck with focusing on your workout to help lose the leg fat. I am sure you will see more change as your  lose the remaining 40lbs and start with weight training, but be sure to do  aerobic exercise too.That helps burn fat all over. You will most likely see change in your body over the next year or so after getting to your goal.

So many people have areas that they cannot lose the fat even after getting to goal  After you have maintained your weight loss for six months or so  and if you can afford it, speak with a plastic surgeon to see what procedure might be done to help you out.

Keep up the great work.

Hi Nancy,

Are you going for the band, the RNy or the Duodenal Switch?  There are numerous Drs in Ct for the band or RNY but the DS you would have to travel for , but from all I have researched well worth the travel. You can look up surgeons on OH. Just under the search feature "bariatric surgeons". Best of luck  and please research all forms of surgery before you make a decision. There is information on OH for all of them. Take the time to read ...read read.
