Before and After Lap Band Surgery - PICTURES ONLY

[NurseLaureli 1]

Every one looks so good! I am so inspired by everyone on this board. I look at this thread everyday to keep my spirits up and to know I can lose my last 40 lbs.

Since I haven't taken body shots in awhile, I thought I would post my progress pics. The first pic was taken 2 years ago at my highest weight ever of 257lbs. I was 239lbs at surgery, which is the inset pic of just the head shot. I am at 167lbs currently, down 90lbs from my highest ever, and down 72lbs since surgery in May.

I am not sure how well this will work but I will try it anyway.

Thanks for the help Suzzzie. I hope this works. The pictures in the blue shorts were taken a few days after I started the pre-op diet, towards the end of Sept 07, 290lbs. And the others were taken Jan 27, 2008 (last night) Haven’t been to the Dr. for a few weeks so I am not 100% on my current weight but the home scale says 247lbs for a 43lbs loss.

Here are my 2 month progress photos. This is the first I have posted... obviously, since I have only been banded two months today. I can see some difference, but not too drastic. I have lost 50 pounds from my max of 400.

Still have a LONG way to go to be 210... but its getting closer each day!

Before is on top and current is on bottom. Same shorts.

I love looking through old pictures and being totally shocked at how big I REALLY was.

First pic is from 7/06 (appx 250). Second pic is from 12/08 (appx 160). Since I don't have the same clothes, I figured I'd at least use the same girl!!!

Currently I'm 151...6 lbs from goal.
