Guest guest Posted March 1, 2002 Report Share Posted March 1, 2002 well i am glad that dr. L doesnt have a weight restriction b/c i wouldnt pass, but i have been on weight watchers faithfully for 2 months now and successfully have lost 13 pds. and i plan on keep going until i weight atleast between 142-124, so that gives me about 9-10months to do so and at the beginning sometime of 2003 i will have my TR. good luck to all stephanie Re: weight Dr. Levin has no weight restriction. It is a little harder for him to do an overweight person, but he will do it. He just said it's a little harder. I need to lose about 100 pounds, so I really know about being overweight.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2002 Report Share Posted March 1, 2002 That is one of the reasons that I went with Dr. Levin. He said that he has done them with women over 300 lbs but sometimes he has to do a up/down incision instead of the Bikini cut to make it easier to get to the tubes. He will talk to you about it if you have any questions.. he was great about it when I asked. in MI weight Does Dr. Levin have a weight restriction for reversals? What days does he do consultations and are they always at 4 pm? -God Bless Lori " You need to persevere so that when you have done the will of God, you will receive what He has promised.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2002 Report Share Posted March 1, 2002 I don't think so, I am about 40 lbs overweight and he asked me my height and weight and didn't say anything at the consultation. poetry4mee@... wrote: Does Dr. Levin have a weight restriction for reversals?

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2002 Report Share Posted March 1, 2002 I am 6' and should weigh 150-170, unfortunately I weigh 200, although being tall does disguise it pretty well, it's not all in one place, just spread out all over.

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2002 Report Share Posted March 1, 2002 Judy~I thought I would add that I know about gaining weight, I put on 15 lbs this last year, but I also know that 20 or 30 lbs is not a whole lot to lose! :0) Don't be afraid to shake that butt some and get yourself movin! I will be doing it right along with ya. I just started running again and boy does it shake. I have an excuse now, but in a few months the 'just had surgery' one runs out, so I am at the deadline. Smile. As far as the cottage cheese thing, well I gave up a long time ago, but I want to feel strong and limber. Forget about what it looks like, feel what it feels like. Right? And the weight doesn't really matter as much either. The more you move, the more you will want to! Love ya, Ingy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted March 1, 2002 Report Share Posted March 1, 2002 Ladies! One thing that helped me out of a slump was to get away from the TV. It obviously does not portray a healthy woman as the vision of loveliness. The reason? Marketing. How would the companies sell products and merchandise if their commercials portrayed people just like you and me? We naturally WANT what appears to be within our reach, yet not in our possession, something we don't have already. If Roseanne did an add for jeans, for instance, we would look in our closets and realize that we already have enough of those. If an anorexic woman trots down a runway looking like a 14 year old boy with a wig on, and wears the lattest fashion, we are naturally going to feel that it is something we don't have. A look we don't have. That is why the figure of a woman that represents 2% of the population is used to sell dieting products, clothing and cosmetics, etc. to the other 98%!!!! BRAINWASHING! Now all of you ladies are BEAUTIFUL in my book. Speaking of books? LOL Love, Ingy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 1, 2002 Report Share Posted March 1, 2002 I am, as I like to say, a perfect size 6 (shoes that is) The other day my daughters and I were shopping and my youngest, Abigail, ask me if she could get a pair of pants like mine. Being quite flattered by this remark I ask her why. NEVER and I mean NEVER EVER ask why. She innocently replied " Because they whistle when you walk! " Well ladies, needless to say this is not a new trend in fashion. I was wearing corduroy and the " whistling " was a direct result of my thights rubbing together. I could probably start bonfires with the excess friction. So I get home and say " Dr Atkins...here I come " I'm now on day 7 and have managed to lose 6 pounds (according to the scales anyway.) But let me tell you....if someone so much as waves a pretzel or a plate of pasta under my nose I'm a goner. Having realized a long time ago that I have the metabolism of a slug and zero willpower I have adjusted my life to be that of a woman of size. But even Women of size can be beautiful. Fat is also a state of mind. If your mind says you're fat, then even at 100 lbs, you look in the mirror and see 220 lbs. I personally think that 1/2 the weight battle is mental. So when you look in the mirror ladies .... remember to look for the beauty, not the beast!! When you see the beauty so too will everyone else! Hugs, Bonnie P.S. Yes, Tammy, that little episode is yet another chapter in the book of " Life With Abigail " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 1, 2002 Report Share Posted March 1, 2002 I agree with you 100% about the way you see yourself. My weight problem really bothers me because im what they call a " pear " shape. Meaning that im bigger on the bottom than on the top. Im the perfect size basically on top but from the waist to my knees im NOT!! when i do lose weight i lose it in my face and upper body and really look sick because then you can see bones that dont need to show but my bu** is still 2 sizes to BIG!! Oh well, I inherited it from my mother and grandmother, I use that one alot, , and usually people that guess my weight usually guess me about 20lbs less than what i really am thanks to being tall. One of these days maybe they will come up with a way to just lose weight from certain areas of your body. > I am, as I like to say, a perfect size 6 (shoes that is) The > other day my daughters and I were shopping and my youngest, Abigail, > ask me if she could get a pair of pants like mine.
