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 have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
