Hi there! I'm new, and this question has been on my mind since I joined... I have bigger arms, and they are what I'm most embarrassed about aside from my huge thighs... I was wondering if anyone has overcome embarrassment and worn shirts with no sleeves? How did it feel? Have you ever overcome embarrassment when it comes to shirts that show your arms, if they are bigger? I just don't know how to do it... I've covered up my entire life.
I have the "angel wings" and they flap. I decided to finally go with sleeveless shirts because it gets so hoe here in FL and I thought I am done hiding. I have started to do tricep exercises and it… read more
When I first had my surgery I lost a good amount of wait, but do to other health issues some of the weight has come back on. Can you have the gastric sleeve surgery again? Now that some of the other health issues are out of the way, I need extra help getting to where I need to go.

Has anyone had the lap band? I'm going to a seminar for it next month. Still on the fence but willing to look into it.
Yes I had the lap band in 2013 it failed so I had to get revision to gastric bypass surgery

I've had the sleeve done. I lost quite a bit of weight. But, due to health issues, I've gained it back. Is there a way to go in and have surgery again?
