Before and After Lap Band Surgery - PICTURES ONLY



Recommended Posts

If I did this right, I am still in transition...but I thought I would post some pics also. I still have a ways to go, but I feel great with what I've lost so far. :lol: The top one is mid-April of 2007, just a couple of weeks before surgery and the lower one is about 3 weeks ago right before Christmas. In that pic I am down 102 lbs.

Everyone is doing great!!! Keep up the fantastic work!! Happy 2008 to every bandster out there.

Hi all! I don't get to check in as often as I should, but have always found this board to be an AMAZING source of inspiration. I'm still a work in progress, but getting there... slowly :)

I'd like to lose another 35lbs. by September for my 2 year bandiversary.

I really enjoy coming to this site and seeing everyone's progress. These are my before pic (June 18th - 260lbs) and current pic (195lbs). I still have about 35 lbs to reach my realistic goal of 160, but my long range goal is 140. I just don't want to look sickly thin.

Hope this works!

The first pic was taken before the band and the second was taken yesterday! I went from a 22/24 to a 14/16. I was banded on 12/26/06 with a starting weight of 298. My current weight is 195. The difference is amazing! I am looking forward to the next 40lbs. It has been a year long journey but well worth it.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
