Pre-Op and Two Months Post-Op

SW: 292

DOS: 7/7/14

CW: 202 (6 mos post surgery)

You know what I've noticed after looking at the before and afters? Is that most of the before's don't have smiles, but almost all of the after's have big smiles! That makes me happy :-) So proud of everyone!! I'm looking to get RNY over Band by next year due to complications...surprise, surprise...

So I didn't have a "before" but I just went for my 6 month follow up & I remember the day this picture was taken at my weight & wellness center I felt good about myself, had in nice pants, a nice shirt & top & had fixed my hair. I also was one of the "smaller" people at the nutrition class that day so it was an interesting mix of backgrounds going in. Now I look at this picture of me & can't even recognize myself!

Hello everyone, My name is Leanora and the first photo is my highest weight at 439 and the second one was taken today at my 3 month anniversary at 320lbs.

Sorry about that, here is the before picture at 439

Is it worth it I'm afraid of complications I have 150lb loose

@@laneydasilva is it worth going through life with the extra 150 lbs and missing out on soo much?

Listen, my highest weight was 359. 2 1/2 mo post surgery I'm down to 289. I already look better, feel better, can do things I wasn't up to doing before. Size 28 to a 22 already! My knees feel better, my ankles aren't swollen. I have loose skin, but I'll take that. I'll be able to ride a coaster this summer.

In life there aren't any guarantees. But if you want to be healthy and try to live a longer more productive life and have tried many times to loose weight without success, the scare of complications shouldn't be holding you back.

Good luck!!

My before pic is from last April at 306. Day of surgery I was 336... My highest ever. The after picture is 4 1/2 months later. On the scale in at a stall, but I've lost another 15". I'm thrilled with my success. Down to 249 and 55"+ lost!!
