Alright, yesterday marks my 4 year bandversary. Yeah!!!

I started at 250 lbs, size 22+. I am now 148 lbs, size 4-6.

On October 8th I underwent Cosmetic Surgery to get rid of excess skin. Although I will be posting tons of pics to show the before/after and the weekly progress postop, I wanted to share these pics.

Not only has the band transformed me, both body and mind, but it has truly freed me

Looking great and I can't believe that is a new belly button! Will you share who your surgeon is?

Big thanks for asking. My Cosmetic Surgeon was Dr. Wolfe of The Center for Cosm. Surgery in Denver, CO

He is an artist at his job, skilled and patient. He has great bedside manner and his staff provide excellent support- hands down.

You look great.

You look terrific and you are terrific. Congrats on 4 years of being banded and congrats on achieving such wonderful success. You are truly an inspiration and I thank you for sharing your successes and insights along the way!

That is awesome. I want To turn 40 on a beach in a bathing suit. I have 10mths to achieve that goal.
