Guest guest Posted January 22, 2006 Report Share Posted January 22, 2006 Thank you. It was a year work in progress with seeing the dietician and all the other appointments. I am an American living over here due to the Armed Forces. My surgery is being done at the American Hospital. Though I was going to go through the local doctors route so I have a folder of information of how the European network does their surgery. Each country is different like in England they like the band. I hear Norway is beautiful and one of the few countries I haven't been too. I am anxious and nervous and a bit scared but I will definitely post how everything went.. Namaste, Mar > > Hi Congrats on your surgery date. I saw that your in Germany.

Guest guest Posted February 10, 2006 Report Share Posted February 10, 2006 Hi VA!!! I throw up 1 to 2 times a week. Sometimes it is because I ate (get really hungry and eat too fast) too much and sometimes it is my food choices. I would try cutting back on the amount just by a 1/4. See if that helps. If it does not I would call your DR. Congrats on your weight loss our numbers are close!! I started at 266 and am now 141 lbs. LOL I would love to see the 130's!! Hugs!! > > Hi all.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2006 Report Share Posted February 11, 2006 Thanks . I do find that at times I've probably gone too long without eating and get really hungry. I'm probably eating too much even though everyone around me thinks I don't eat nearly enough. It's weird, the hungrier I am the less I seem to be able to eat. I have been having a very hard time getting my insurance on board for the tummy tuck. They deem it 'cosmetic' and won't pay. My doctors have done everything they can to try and convince them it's not, but still nothing. No matter how much I exercise I just can't get all that loose skin to tighten up. I have more skin on my inner thighs than anywhere and it's embarrassing during the summer. How many people here have had eating disorders and is it common for someone with eating disorders to have this surgery? I was anorexic/bullemic for many years. It's kind of ironic. > > > > Hi all.
