Here's a before and DURING photo for you all.... not 'cause I'm fishing for compliments, but to provide inspiration for those considering the band. This thread was instrumental in helping me make my decision, for sure!!! Thanks to all of you at LBT (and especially the Violets) for your constant support and inspiration!

My husband and I are banded and are still both works in progress. Steve was banded March 2005 and I had surgery Sept 2006. Steve's BMI started at 40.1 and is down to 30.2. I started at about 205 and am down to 145ish....and finally a size 8!! But the best thing is we're off the couch and back into life....the last pic is a mountain bike race from October 2007. We finished 3rd in the Master's Group...(that's the over 40 old farts) ;-)

I am so excited..Just had my extended Tummy Tuck, butt lift, breast lift and off course augmentation...and here is part of my result. I decided to have the PS done here in Tijuana MX and can I just say I couldn't be happier with my choice...Dr. Luis Suarez and his staff were awesome...I have to write my whole experience down for you....They have been great and the pain has been little to none...The cost is what got me hear in the US I was looking at paying over 30K here I only paid $9,950.....

Dr Suarez site is Plastic Surgery Tijuana, Mexico, Plastic Surgeon Tijuana

Even though the scale has been stuck for 2 months.. my sizes are going down... I am wearing 12's in jeans/cords (albeit stretchy) and two days ago I was able to button and zip my first pair of size 10's!

The pics below are 1 April 1st at 272lbs (funny how we don't realize how sad we look in our B4's) the NOW are size 12 Levis and a size Large shirt.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
