I met my goal weight of 145 in August 2013, almost 1 year after surgery. Today, I'm happy to report a healthy weight of 132 lbs. I'm living life at 13 lbs below goal. I truly love my Lapband, and I'm super thankful to be 113 lbs lighter in a size 2.

This is my before and after picture, the one on the left is pre surgery at 245 lbs and the one on the right is at goal of 145lbs.

This pic is me at 132 lbs.

You look fabulous!!! So healthy, and beautiful! Congrats!

Spectacular!

Thanks everyone for the well wishes and I have to say that I feel amazing, and I love everything about the new me. I have changed so much since the Lapband surgery and I'm happy to be living this life free of health stress and issues. Also my confidence is at an all time high!

Fabulous darling!!! Simply fabulous.

Looking at your picture makes it so much easier to know that the band does work if you use it right. Thank you for showing your pictures.

You must feel super, too.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!

Amazing! Not to mention you look years younger!

You look amazing ????????

I'm getting my surgery tomorrow. Your an inspiration. I keep looking at your before and after. Gorgeous.

Wow!!! You look fantastic, who would ever believe you have been overweight, you look like a natural skinny person.

Again all, thanks so much! I feel like a new person and the goal of my post was to inspire others that if journal your food, eat lean protein first, drink water and get 30 minutes of some type of body movement daily. Also, the number 1 reason for my Lapband success is that for the first 12 months I saw my Lapband Surgeon monthly and now at goal I see him quarterly and he makes certain he provides me with the tools to succeed! This has not been an easy journey but I love this new body and the second chance at living a healthy life!

You look great and you are an inspiration! You changed your whole life - congrats !! Pretty lady before & after!

Wow! What a transformation! You look amazing! Congratulations!

You look fantastic & are an inspiration to those of us still trying to get there!
