my coworker

when i first started at my job back in 2007....she was real big...waddle when you walk type big

she underwent the lap band surgery later on in the year...over the next 2 1/2 years she dropped like 220 lbs...and looked like a different person..although she did have some minor complications

fast forward to now she doesn't seem to be working out consistently anymore and has noticeably gaining thr weight back

dat flabby and loose skin though :gag:

I wouldnt do it if I had to be skinny but still looking :flabbynsick:

:rudy:

yeah i know it goes by BMI, and some other stuff, but if it helps me live longer and remain healthy, and personal happiness, why not at least see if i qualify :leon:

I know someone who is having it, better than having a heart attack.

Good luck to you.

My aunt and a cousin got bypass. My aunt followed directions and lost allot of weight. She looks really good now. My cousin replaced the food with liquor and she is now facing liver failure. I'd say don't get it unless your morbidly obese. 6'2 250 isnt bad at all. As long as you stay active and eat good you should be ok.

Yeah, he ended up leaving her.

Nope.
Two. Both got it done after having kids. Only one I've seen with significant weight loss overall tho.

My former roommate, who is like 450+ is getting gastric bypass at the end of the month :whoo:

He said he will look like a totally different person in one year :ohlawd:

That shyt got me thinking, I might ask my doctor about the lap band (i know someone who got this too)

I can lose weight on my own, but if my insurance covers it, why not at least learn more about it :yeshrug:

Yes and shes still obese.
