Good luck on your journey to transformation. You'll be so glad and happy you did it! Hang in there and just do it day by day....

That happens to all of us it seems. The bat wings...ugh. I know how you feel. I bought little cardigans yesterday with 3/4 sleeves to cover them! Oh well...

You look really beautiful! Keep up the good work!

You look so wonderful! Totally transformed. I'm happy for you and thank you for sharing the pics! They inspire me to do the same for myself so please keep posting...btw, the hair looks great longer!

You're doing fantastic! Keep up the hard work!

You are looking sooo beautiful, keep up the hard work! :thumbup:

You're doing great! Hang in there and be positive. I had my banding in March 2009, I was a size 18-20 when I went in and now, I'm a size 6/8. You won't believe it's you in pics, but it is!

Awww, you're doing really good! keep it up and keep smiling! You should be proud of yourself!

My goodness! I'm soooo proud of you! I wanted to order that costume for my husband but he was too large to fit. I'm going to show him your pics for inspiration!Congratulations!

You hang in there and be positive about the changes you are about to go through. On this site, we are all facing the same challenges. You can do it! I can't wait to see your "after" pics!

Congratulations! Keep up the hard work! I know the feeling of have the last few to lose, I can't wait until it's done either!

Good for you! You hang in there and work hard and it's all going to be worth it. I always come on here to look at pics for my own inspiration. I look forward to seeing your progress pics! You are going to be smoking hot!

Awwwww, You look TERRIFIC!!!!!!!!! Congratulations!

Congratulations! You look terrific!

Keep up the hard work! It's paying off for you! Thanks for posting pics of your dietary stuff too, it helped me see some things I may be able to eat! I'm soooo sick of turkey chili!

Keep up the good work! It's sooooo worth it! Hang in there and it will all pay off. I was banded in March and I'm now 157lbs....with a few to go. I work out everyday like a monster! You can do it.

I've never heard of doing that but I was told no Ibuprofen since it can cause band/stomach erosion.....Hmmmm.

I'm so sorry that you had a bad recovery. You have been one of my inspirations on this site. I follow your progress and enjoy all of your pics. You have done so well, hang in there and get better!

Don't be shy about the hard work you have put into your transformation! Hold your head high and show off your beautiful self!

I am soooo proud of you! I look at pics for inspiration for my own journey and your pics are awesome. The transformation as you become who you were intended is amazing! Keep up the hard work and keep showing that beautiful smile of yours! YAY!!!!!!

Congratulations to you and all the hard work you're putting in to this journey! I look at the photos on here all the time for inspiration and yours are very inspiring! Keep it up! I'm 2 months post op and down 30 lbs.....You give me hope....
