You are all an inspiration...Thanks for posting your pictures. you have no idea how much it helps the people like me who are trying to make the decision to go for the band!!
Here are 2 of my before pictures, I can't wait to add my 'after' and even 'in progress' pictures one day in the not too distant future... (The cruise picture was taken in May of 2004 on my 10 year wedding anniversary, and the top picture was taken yesterday (07/23/06). I think I weighed about the same in both...
I'm still afraid that I will miss the food, but I have had others tell me that I will gain control over food with this type of surgery. Once I get past the fear of 'missing' food and fearing complications (I'm self pay so I cannot afford a complication, and nor would I want one for the obvious health reasons too) I will make that appointment where I put down the deposit and get the ball rolling. I want to lose between 150-170 pounds, but I will celebrate at every 50 pound increment. I don't want to post my current weight just yet...
OK, here are my pictures to kick off my journey...

For pix of a male before and after, and including tummytuck pictures (a bit "gross" if you can't stand stitches, drains, etc., but that's part of the adventure), check out www.mylapband.tk Pictures are all "graphic" but absolutely nothing obscene or nasty...except for the "gross" to some people noted above.

Now I need some help... By what my PCP told me when I started this journey I should weight between 130 and 140 pounds. That is 20 - 30 pounds less then what I weight now. The difference between the May picture and today's picture is 17 pounds. How much more should I lose? May collage (Small).jpg Collage (Small).jpg

| Not a big change, but some improvement overall. | |
Mary looks great! :clap2: I was also feeling blue about my weight loss slowing down (to a crawl) and feeling under-filled. Plus I don't think pictures make me feel better - I only focus on how much more I need to lose. So although I don't have big-numbers loss like most people here, I guess I'm seeing some progress. Here are my pics:- Picture #1 combines two pictures of me wearing the same outfit.
The first half is AFTER LapBanding (I'd lost some but no where near now) but before my Tummy Tuck. It's obvious why I needed the TT in that pic! In the second half, I've lost a lot more weight, and I've had the much-needed TT. Picture #2 is current. Whew, even I think I look visibly better, and I'm my worse critic. :phanvan Oh well, I've got LOTS more work to do before I consider myself a Weight Loss success.

My before and afters....the before wasn't even at my highest! I was about 260 there. I eventually climbed to 275. The two of me alone are from Father's Day. I was at 224. Now I'm down about 10 or 11 lbs. | |
