Re: Before and After Lap Band Surgery - PICTURES ONLY

I bought some new work out clothes yesterday (in a 1x!! woo hoo). I am just over over 10 months post op and -68.5lbs . The first picture is the day before surgery @ 319.5lbs. Work in progress, but it takes pictures like this for me to realize the change.

Re: Before and After Lap Band Surgery - PICTURES ONLY

Folks...I was looking at pictures from my niece's birthday this weekend and I came across a picture of me...no head, a little grainy...but it was me. And it TOOK my breath away.

I have to be honest. I don't see myself like this at all. Generally, all I can see are the negatives...and while I am not yet a "thin" woman (still obese....8 lbs to go to overweight!!!!), I am just absolutely blown away that that normal looking person in the second picture is ME...MEEEEEEE!!!!

Every time I look at this, which has been quite often tonight (narcissist) my eyes fill up with tears. I am just so overwhelmed with this change in my body...and my spirit and my self esteem etc....

Thank you so very much for your support through this...I quite literally would not be as successful without your support. I struggled for a few months, but am back on board (have lost the majority of the 15 I packed on while recuperating from a different surgery in July!!!) As an FYI...I am 1 year 4months post op...

The first picture was taken in April 07...3 months before my surgery!

THAT NORMAL LOOKING WOMAN IS ME!!!!!!

Holy crap!

Re: Before and After Lap Band Surgery - PICTURES ONLY

Allright, I'm finally in the 2's so I figured I would post some before and during pics.

The first two are before, then in May. The last (with the white shirt) is this week... I'm 299!

Thanks everyone for posting and keeping me motivated!

Re: Before and After Lap Band Surgery - PICTURES ONLY

I am halfway to goal. The befores were taken in June, the "durings" were taken last night.





Here I tried to find the same outfit as my before pic. I didn't find the exact jeans, but they are the same size and brand as my before pic.

Re: Before and After Lap Band Surgery - PICTURES ONLY

Somehow I forgot to post my bandiversary pix. I was banded October 24, 2007. I have lost 94 pounds and am so glad that I made this LAP-BAND® decision. I just finished round 1 of PS, so I am going to post 3 pics. The first is the night before LAP-BAND® 1 year ago, the 2nd is oct 23 this year(the night before PS, and the 3rd is 2 weeks post PS.

Re: Before and After Lap Band Surgery - PICTURES ONLY

Hi all,

It's my Bandiversary today, so here are my before and after images. I'm feeling very proud of myself, but I couldn't have done this without the support of my family, friends and health professionals.
