I've Lost 157 Pounds After Lap Band Surgery!!!!! Yay!

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.

The nicest change I see is in your smile :D . In your before pic you look so sad, even the one with the smile. The after pics show you happy and that is priceless! You have done so well ! Will your tummy and boob work be your reward? That would be a great 'self gift'.

I am so proud of you ! I needed that today... (to see a amazing success story) i been hearing negative stuff from friends but, now i am excited i was banded on 2/25/11 about 2 weeks ago !!! I hope i am half as good as you!

Dang girl!!!! You look frickin' awesome!!! Congrats on the 150 lb + weight loss!!! You are truly an inspiration to those of us trying to get to our goals!!!!

WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!

YOU IS DA BOMB GIRL!!!
