First of all this was TOP SECRET nobody knows I got this done except parents and 2 co workers .....it is amazing how my body is changing so fast! it has only been 2 weeks! My hubby is loving my new "Night time" wear

I cant wait to see BM again !!!!

I havent been on for a few weeks everything been cool on the sk stuff for a long while ...I jump on here occasionally to ask a question or two but thats it.

I was not that big to start, I kind of cheated to get it done i went in the first time and they weighed me I was not fat enough! Sooo i went and bought some weights and hid them under my clothes and went back 2 weeks later and "Presto" ! I get surgery

Just to give everyone a hint of what I look like, Jennifer Hudson before she lost her weight, and I hope i look as good as she does now! I heard she had this done also on the down low??? Weight watchers did not make her lose all that weight that fast! I still love her though!

Has anybody else gotten banded?

Did insurance cover it? How mucb over weight do you need to be. I hope it is ok, since you cheated to get there. lol

See thats exactly why i kept it top secret ! i did not want to hear that crap! Hell I was not skinny, I was 5 pounds under the weight! not 30 or 60...Good grief!

Good for you! I know exactly how you felt as I am five pounds under myself. I can either pig out over the next few weeks or get a little extra help. Wink

I am interested in BMs reaction when she sees you. I wish you could take a picture and post it. }:)

You tricked the doctors and the insurance company. :jawdrop:

That trick could have killed you. What kind of doctors don't check and triple check?

I had minor surgery back in February (infertility issues); I had to go in for pre-op stuff a week in advance. They did most of the stuff again the day of.

I was weighed the morning of surgery

When I went for my first visit I stepped on the scale I was 5 pounds under. I was told to go home gain weight and come back!

so I went home and (added the weight) and came back for the blood work and the other tests, and proceded with the rest of the other steps. lucky I cheated, because then they put you on a 2 week liquid diet to lose 10-15 pounds before surgery to shrink the liver!

not only did i lose the 5 fake pounds I added, i lost 12 real fat pounds!

Geez I did not know i had to go into so much detail about this, but please dont be rude, i was just sharing a happy moment ...you all are treating me like a baby momma that used child support to pay for this!

Sounds like you were safe through out the procedure. I've heard that they only require you to meet the weight on your initial visit... YAY.

So, how much have you lost so far?

Now newmom, you know that we are all perfect her at stalk!! You fibbed about 5lbs!? OMG, you should be shot!! LOL.

Congrats and keep up the good work. I would like to do it…If I could find someone willing to do it for someone that is 40lbs over weight, I would do it in a heartbeat.
Don’t let the perfect people get you down.

Yeah I cant wait to see bm either....She is smaller than me so when ever she gets mad her first words are "fat ass" and in the beginning of our marraige when the kids started coming over she told the oldest one i think 5 at the time ...she told him to call me pig in a blanket!

Buti did it for me and dh's kids so I can run behind them and play without getting winded, and lord knows i would save money on clothes...everybody knows plus size clothing is more expensive

Im currently a size 14-16 Im looking to get to 12 or 8-9. Not too much off cause my man loves the "booty" Im thinkin i will reach my goal by the end of the month the way its going, but FOR SURE the end of january!

OMG lol, good for you...like i'm going to care about 'insurance fraud' ....the insurance companies are one of the biggest scam/frauds/outright KILL people w/their decisions, are in bed w/big pharma, of the most digusting vile of 'companies' i can think of medical insurance companies are like the king of greed. F'them if one person added 5 lbs to their weight to get a procedure done. And PLEASE lets not start the crap of 'well thats what drives everything up'...that is the furthest thing from the truth.

All these insurance companies shoudl be obliterated along with the fda and big pharma-JMO though.

Getting weighed WEIGHTS IN YOUR POCKETS...lol....

what ever works hun.....

I just hope when you get down to the weight you want....you get the life youve always dreamed of....

thanks for sharing this....Im not that overweight...but I have always thought that hypnotherapy would cure my bad eating habits....it stopped me from smoking many many years ago....

Liks...i'm interested to know more on the hypnotheraphy for smoking-i heard most people are succesful with it...can you explain how it works? perhaps via pm is better? Oh and does insurance pay for it? LOL

I think your "trick" is brilliant newmom! You must be on cloud nine. I've gained 30 lbs since I started menopause, 2012 is my year to lose it, I've made up my mind. Biggrin
