Here ya go - my 40 year old carcass after almost 2 years of banding. I wore this bikini last week on the beach in Byron Bay, it was perhaps the sweetest moment since I was banded! bikini web photo front.jpg bikini web photo.jpg

I usually just lurk in here since I am still a bit away from goal but holy cow Jacqui you look absolutly amazing. I would not guess in a million years that you used to be overweight. You look so great!

You look fantastic Jacqui!! If I didn't know that you had been overweight, you would have trouble convincing me.
Bravo!

I agree with Chickir, I would never believe you were overweight OR 40 for that matter. I thought you were my age or younger! Congrats girl you look gorgeous!

Jachut,
Whistling would be inappropriate for me as I am a woman but it sure is a hell of a feeling isn't it? You look amazing and your pictures should be in the new comers area so they can see what they will be looking forward to. You go girl!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

State: virginia | Hello Ladies~
I'm 10 days postop and after reading and seeing these posts I am truly ENCOURAGED!!!! Thanks so much for sharing your weight loss.
Jachut~ Wow! You look GREAT! If thats what 40 looks like I will welcome it with open arms in 5 years LOL!
I have one question though...with all the weightloss, did anyone have to get plastic surgery? I've only lost 28lbs since Sept 5 but have noticed alot of loose skin. This scares the HELL outta me!!! Am I not getting enough protein or should I start exercising? | |

I am a good 13 years away from where you are now, and if I look even half as good as you do, I will be a happy camper.
Again, congratulations.
