well, hub found this pic of me at christmas, 2011 and i had to do a side by side face...i had my surgery june 2012..........and this picture in black was me yesterday (17 months later)

did i even have a neck?

hard to believe that was me..but that is me

well, for any larger BMI person seeing this, please believe that you CAN have this surgery and it WILL work.....be patient and stop worrying about what you cant control..

you can control your food choices and if you exercise or not...let the band do the rest...

Beautiful my friend... just beautiful.

now dont know about that........but def a change in my face....one little thing, like clothes being too big or going down a size or noticing a older picture vs a new one, can make ones mind go heck yeah i got this and keep them keeping on.....

why i posted it....to show the bigger BMI's that yeah, it can be done....

there is so many bypass/sleeve people on the band threads and i want the ones

who got the band to see, the band works..

not just me but jim or missy or aj or floridays and many many many more...or YOU go.......its a GREAT thing

add patient compliance to the band and whoop .....WATCH OUT

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
