Hello everyone,

I've been lucking for almost a year and finally registered. My one year anniversary was 12-4. I have lost exactly 100 pounds. I'm 5'8". I started at 255 and am 155 now. My goal is 150 but I don't really care if I get there because I'm thrilled with the way I look right now. I love my band and am so thankful I was able to afford it. I was a self payer and it was costly but so worth it. I just had a tummy tuck and breast lift with implants and some lipo 5 weeks ago to complete the new me. Thanks for letting me share.

You look FANTASTIC! WoW!!!! You have done exactly what I hope to do in a year. Incredible! I'm so glad you shared.

Here's a little version of the picture for you. I hope it works.

Wow you look great..Fantastic job. What an accomplishment

Congratulations to you!

Great job! You look fabulous! Where's the 'before'??

You look terrific!! We're glad you came out of lurkdom to share your success. How was the plastic surgery? I hear it's no fun. Was your experience good? Bad? Certainly the results are impressive!!

Here is my before picture and one just taken so you can see the results of my plastic surgeries. I'm in a bikini....OMG!!!!!!!!!!!! I know they are going to be huge again so I'm hoping Rebeccalee can make them same for me again. Thanks by the way and I just wanted to say Dr. Feng did my band surgery and Dr. Cirangle...aka, Dr. GQ has done 2 of my fuills. Small world. The plastic surgery was the worse pain I have ever had but it was worth it at the end. The 1st week is hell and then it's starts getting better. I would highly recommend anyone do it...the pain is short lived and the results are forever.

Wow, Belinda... You should feel so proud of yourself. You look wonderful. So young and beautiful. You were a pretty lady in your before, but you are definitely a knock-out now! Congratulations on your 1 year anniversary and thank you for sharing. You inspire me!

Here's the side-by-side. I couldn't find the bikini shot.

Belinda,

I have seen Dr. Feng a couple of times. He is a sweetie. Dr. C is a great doctor, but he chews my butt on occasion. Really....I don't know why. :guess I'm glad I chose them to do the surgery.

Wow, Belinda, what a great job! Where did you have your plastic surgery done? How much weight did you lose - just from the PS? What size clothes were you then and now? How old are you? You look like a kid! (That's a beautiful baby you're holding!) I am so impressed!

Here's the bikini...YIKES! Not too bad for an 44 year old.Belinda

You guys are the best. Thanks again Rebeccalee. I had to uplaod the bikini picture separately. I'm 5'8", 44. Dr. Freedin Auburn California did my TT, BL wit implants and lipo of my flanks. I do have before picture's of my ugly stomach before, if you guys want to see but they are ugly. I lost about 10 more pounds after the surgery and am a size 7,8,9 depending. I need a tan though....LOL.

Belinda

Rebeccalee,

Dr. Cirangle really chewed out mine too. I have to go for my yearly and I see them in Sacramanto. Well, Dr. C was this month so I'm waiting till next month because he doesn't believe in PS until your 2 years out. I know he'll yell at me...LOL

Hey, Jack. If I gotta model my Hulk Underoos, you can model a thong. Sheeeeesh! I mean, take one for the team, eh?

Wow, such fantastic pictures! Thank you so much for sharing. You look beautiful!
