WOOO HOOOO!! I can not believe one year ago today about 10 am I was getting banded. It is the best thing that I ever did in my entire life! I am so happy.

Here are the stats:

Starting size: 320 pounds

Size 4x

BMI: 46%

NOW: 195 Pounds

Size Large

BMI: 25%

I feel so great, it is the best thing I ever did for me!

Congratulations - - you are doing great! over 100# in a year - GREAT

You look awesome!!!! Congrats!!!! I needed a boost..and seeing your post helped!!! :clap2: :whoo: :Banane21:

What is Spanx? I'm having surgery in about 6weeks, but don't have a date yet. I hope to have the success you've had. You look fabulous!!!

Thanks for all of the kudos. But I want you all to know that I didn't do anything that all of you can't do as well. If I can do it, anyone can!

Spanx are underwear like stuff that sucks you in all over. It takes care of the "Muffin Top" as I call it, you know all of that stuff that hangs over in your jeans. For me it is skin now. If you get them always get the long ones, they are worth the extra money you will have NO ROLLS at all!

the SPANX dont fit me yet ... :cry i go to the Avenue and get one of their sucker inners a size smaller than what i wear in pants and that does the trick. you can definitely tell when i am not wearing it ... my belly just hangs ... :embarassed:

Congratulations on your bandiversary. Your before and after photos are amazing. You have come a long way in just one year and you look terrific!

Congrads! Did Ya Ever Think You Would Make It This Far In Only One Yr? You Look Great.

I Bought Them But I Couln't Get Them Up. They Were Like Nylons And I Thought They Would Be More Like A Light Weight Girdle. So, I Went Back And Bought A Girdle That Goes All The Way Up Under The Bra. I Never Thought I Would Ever Wear One Of Thoes But I Love The Way I Look Compared To All The Bumps.
