I had my surgery on 2/11/09. As of this morning, I've lost 157 pounds. I started at 300 pounds and this morning I weighed in at 143. I am 5'7". My surgeons office told me I hold their current record for most weight loss with their lap band patients. My BMI that started at like 46 to 48 is now 22.4, which is in the normal range btw. I used to wear a size 26W/28W or 3x/4x. I just bought a pair of extra small scrubs pants and a small shirt. I also just bought a pair of size 6 jeans. NEVER IN MY LIFE WOULD I HAVE THOUGHT I COULD HAVE ACCOMPLISHED THIS! YOU CAN DO THIS TOO! IF I CAN.... ANYONE CAN! This tool has been a miracle for me. I love my life.... although it's been a crazy two years. You really learn who your true friends are. I am a different person..... inside and out.

Congrats you look great!

Forgot to add that I haven't had any plastic surgery as of yet. I am currently looking into it though. I desperately need my abdomen and breasts worked on. So we'll see.

Thank you!

Wow! That is amazing! You deserve to feel so proud of your hard work! Congratulations!

You look A-mazing!! Congratulations, I too started out over 300. I now weigh 204. I should be where your at but I had a 10 month hiatus when I got pregnant a year out from my surgery. But I am back and you have totally motivated me. Thank You

WOW!!! What an inspiration!! I was just banded Feb. 24th, 2011. It is a tough battle and emotionally hard on the soul. I take it day by day and meal to meal. I started off at 243lbs and I am currently 229lbs. I go for my first fill March 28th. Your story is truly encouraging and motivating. I wish you the best!
