You look so awesome, can't wait for my day

that is amazing congrats, I can't wait until I can report the same lol

Yes, it happened. I have lost seventy pounds since my surgery on April 25! I am so excited! I literally got off the scale and cried. I don't know why 70 is such a big thing, but I just now started noticing a change in my appearance. I didn't even realize how just HUGE I was, and now I look at myself and I feel so much happier about the way I look. I'm nowhere near done, but even if the weight loss stopped here, I'd be happy. Look at me! I haven't been this thin since I was a freshman in high school (now I'm a freshman in college)! I just can't contain my excitement!

You can even see a part of my college suite in the background of my after picture! The first one is at my Dad's pub with, of course, my dad. I think I'm around the same size!

This is my my sophomore year of high school!

This is me before and after lap-band surgery (so far!). 70 pounds down!

You look FAB-TASTIC, that is so awesome. Congrat!

you look absolutely amazing , I am too was 408lbs when starting this journey on 4/2011 and as of today 10/24/2011 I weigh 300lbs and I also go to the gym frequently. Keep up the great work

You are amazing , that is so inspiring

Well I don't know if this helps but in May 2011 I weighed 408lbs and as of today 10/13/2011 I weigh 307lbs so yeah I am a little happy with the results If you are still pondering about what to get why not do research on the lap band with plication is that not the same thing as the sleeve, almost ? but nothing is actually being cut from you

Sending you my prayers, everything happens for a reason

Oh that is exactly what I needed to read, congrats

Over eating, and I think constant throwing up a;so stretches the stomach

You look amazing

you look great I was just also wondering how much did the procedure cost

So exciting, I know I too recently was able to wear a ring I bought a year ago that could only fit my pinky now it actually fits my ring finger, lol

Hi,

I don't frequent this site as often as I should, but just wanted to say that in the 10.5 months since LapBand surgery I have been able to lose 96 pounds. I am hoping to reach 100 pounds lost in the next 2-3 weeks...and before my 1 year LapBand surgery anniversary on November 3, 2011. Wish me luck!!

Congrats, I am in the same boat I am 11lb from the 100lb mark can't believe it so good luck

So sorry to here that

Yeah I need to get back to eating regular food again and counting calories much better for me

wonder what happend

WAY TO GO! You can do anything you set your mind to. Good luck and keep us updated.

Thanks I will

Well today I went into my monthly check up with my doctor and he tells me congratulations I am no longer morbidly obese now I am just obese, now I know to some people they might think , eeeh ok but to me I was in complete shock so happy aside from that I went from 340lbs to 319lb in 6 weeks so excited. I turn 25 in oct 2nd and would love to be 308lb by my birthday That wold mark a 100lb lost. Do you think the goal is achievable hhhmmm, working out 4 days a week is so tiring you know

hI I use phent. either every day or every other day, I don't have any issues I too used it before being lap banded so I know the side effects. Using the "pill" is my personal preference I paid out of pocket for my band so it's not that I don't have faith but I also need an extra "uumph" you know. I guess its like people who don't understand why people get the lap band I mean why not use "will power". but the pill is small enough I have no issues

Lost 166 in a year but I really worked the band hard lol

oh wow that so inspiring pls tell me what yo did what foods you ate excersie and how much extra skin do you have I started this journey at 408lb and am now 327lbs in may 2011 so please any helpers would be welcomed

it feels great!

that's great congrats can't wait to report the same

yeah I am in the same boat I only lost I think 1/2 of a lb if that's even possible I need to stop weighig myself only but once a week at on SUN

Surgery went great Thursday.....gas was awful Thursday and Friday...finally started coming out late last night THANK GOD! I am feeling much better today, just struggling with getting in my Protein shakes that I need bc I am not hungry at all. Dr. Aguila is awesome! I called yesterday bc I was still in a lot of pain bc the initial pain meds just weren't working well and he wanted me to come in just to make sure everything was ok. He is so caring...gotta love him!

Hi congratualions and welcome lol I know the first couple of days suc grass but it is so worth it follow instructions and when you are ready start excercising.
