| My 2 year Bandiversary!! | | Hey ya'll, I just have a PRAISE! Today is the 2 year anniversary of my LAP-BAND® surgery and I just had to share some before/after pics. God has been so good to me and allowed me to lose 140 pounds to date. I still have a ways to go, but He will help me I just know it! I have to give all the credit to HIM because without HIM I could do nothing. See ya! Have a great day!
