Came across these two shots and had to post them. Like I said in my title, there are just no words...except that this is the result of being banded, not bypass or sleeved. Not that there's anything wrong with those surgeries. Whatever works for you is my motto. But for those morbidly obese and not sure they can go with a band, this just shows that it can be done.

Well I have words. Woo hoo ! Beautiful! Amazing! Inspirational!

Woooow! Amazing job!!

@@gowalking you truly are an inspiration and your right there are really no words to describe the feelings you must have!!!

Way to go girl!!!

You are a stellar example of the power of the band + your own power.

And she is a power house let me tell ya! I wish I had her control!!

Oh my gosh ... That is all

Awesome job! You Rock! : )

As I posted some where else on this wls site someone or people in general ask does wls work it does if you work with it & don't think it's a quick fix , just look at the Woman who posted this & I know of others who have done well.

Amazing particularly given the timeframe. And you with that beautiful smile -- then and now lighting up fountains.

Amazing! For me, I look in the mirror and still see a "fat girl". Oddly enough, I'm always shocked when I come across a picture of me from before my surgery. As you said, there just are no words. Anyway, congrats on your wonderful success!

Speechless........................... well , almost ! You look beeeuutiful !!!!! So happy for you ! Congratulations !

Wow! What a transformation Liz.

Thanks for all your compliments. My brother had the best comment of all. He said, 'Now you look like the way you're supposed to'. I loved that response because he recognizes me more now than when I was heavy.

Great job!

love to see the transformation..I am so impressed when I see that much success.. some days I get discouraged because my weight loss slows down but all in all I am happy with what I have lost so far. I am determined to finish this and get to my goal in the next few months...Good job LIz and all.
