Before and After Lap Band Surgery - PICTURES ONLY

[dawnc27wa 0]

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. 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.
