This thread has been an inspiration to me so I figured it was time to give back. I’m not quite where I want to be yet, but I couldn’t be happier with my progress so far.


The first picture is from about 1 year before surgery at 280lbs. The last 3 pictures were taken today at about 190lbs (down about 95lbs total).

Weight Goal = 184 lbs - 24.9BMI (done 10/6/09)
Ultimate Goal = 15% Body Fat (done 11/5/09)

Happily maintaining below 180lbs, under 25 BMI, and less than 15% Body Fat

My before pics are 20 pounds lighter than when i had surgery because i could not find any others.

The pics on here have really been an inspiration to me in the past and now that i am at goal i can post here!

5 pounds below original target

I'm going to try to post a before/after picture.

My one year anniversary is in a few days.

I've lost approx. 50lbs. I could be a lot further along but I'm still working on food issues. :)

My before picture was taken about 1 week after my 09/04/08 surgery. After photo taken 1 year later on 09/04/09. I have lost 91 pounds since surgery. Still need to lose at least 20 more pounds. I have been extremely fortunate with my LAP-BAND®. I've had very, very few problems or issues during this first year. I've met some great people on this website who have been a terrific support to me.

Everyone looks great!

This is a picture I took a few days ago. I haven't had a chance to weight myself in a week or so but last weight I was at was 250. Down over 100 pounds!

Before picture is about a year and a half ago.

262 (highest)/173(current)/165 (goal)

I'm coming up on my one year bandiversary, and thought I'd post a photo - just because.

I'm close to my initial goal, but pretty obviously still have a ways to go to get to my final destination. Still, I'm pretty happy with my progress and don't mind that it's slowed down considerably.

It's amazing how much more comfortable I am in my own body now.

Hope everyone is doing well and keeping plugging away at it.

OK, so I'm not at goal, yet. I have some distance to go. But I've been working out a lot, lately, and my body is tightening up. I loved looking through this thread when I was getting ready to get my band, so felt I'd add newer B/A pics of myself.


And here's an "ohmygodican'tbelievei'mpostingthisanditwon'tstayforlong!"

I'm good with the "after." The "before" is freaking scary and I won't be leaving this pic up forever...no f'in way. LOL But if I can help a person or two, I guess I have to bite the bullet.

Hi everyone
here is my before, 1 year out and a couple weeks ago. The last one is not great, but we had to take pics for an accident report. sorry. 10lbs to my first ultimate goal, and 35 to where I want to be forever! It has been a long journey but I've learned to like me and to change how I eat and live, I would do it over in a minute!
