Sandy 63 and christasha you both look fabulous. What a difference in both of you. I am having LAP-BAND® surgery on December 17th and I pray that in one year I can accomplish what you two have. Thanks for the posts, ti helps us out her floundering.

Re: Before and After Lap Band Surgery - PICTURES ONLY

Sandy and Crista, both of you look wonderful!

Sandy, it looks like the man with the moustache (your DH?) has also lost weight -- were you his inspiration as well?

Re: Morbity Obese to Normal 12 Months 3 Weeks

Oh my gosh IndioGirl, you look fantastic! I was banded 10/24/08 and if I look like you a year from now I will be well pleased. I'm struggling at the moment because I have no restriction yet (no fill) but am going to my doctor on Thursday. I haven't been using my band as a tool at all -- in fact I wouldn't even know it was there if I couldn't feel the lump in my stomach. But I'm hopeful that on Thursday things will change.

Can you give me an idea of your diet and excercise? I'm a few years older than you, but even though I'm fat I excercise (walk) daily and have been for years. Obviously not enought to keep up with my eating! Also I play tennis and golf (although DH & I use a cart).

I'm really getting scard that this will be another failed attempt on my part to lose weight. Since about week 4 I've been eating anything and everything I want -- not a good use of this tool I've been given.

Any words of advise or help would be appreciated.

Re: Before and After Lap Band Surgery - PICTURES ONLY

Yes Donna 113, that is indeed my DH in the picture. He decided that he couldn't have me getting all skinny without him..lol! The other two in the picture are my two boys Brett and Cody.

Tomorrow 12/4 is my bandiversary. I was 318 on the day of my surgery. I was 223 this morning. So that's 95 pounds since surgery and a total of 115 since I first looked into the LAP-BAND® surgery....I feel great!!

Wow! Everyone's looking great, but I gotta specifically say good job to lotza! It's amazing what a difference 25 lbs makes! You totally have hips and a "figure"! Keep up the good work, you're doing great!


EDIT: Ooops, just saw the note from coltonwade a few pages back asking for pictures and no comments. My apologies, won't post comments in this thread again!
