OK...I haven't posted in a very long time but I'm getting really close to my goal so I figured I would post some pics. I'm really excited with my "new" body but I'll be even more excited when I have my lower body lift in the spring. I can't wait. Well...here goes...

Well, I said I wouldn't do this until goal, and I don't have any full body pics, but here are some of the difference in my face. The first one was taken in November shortly before I was banded. The second one was taken last night (with no makeup on, what was I thinking?)

The band is one of the best things I ever did for myself. Physically I feel so much better than I did a year ago. And it is nice to be able to wear cuter clothes too! :thumbup:

Dr K in CO

Thanks for the advice over the last 9 months. I got done to 197 but didn't lose the flab on the belly so I am done for now at a safe weight for 6'3.

Its been quite a while since I dropped in - I have had a huge 12 mths.

My marriage ended, I lost my job and my daughter left home against my wishes.

I have finally got my own place now and have settled back in so thought Id pop in with an update.

I am now down 50kgs/110lbs woooohooooo!!!!

I didn't take a before pic on my surgery date of May 19th. The first pic I took was on July 12th and I had already lost 38 lbs. The second pic is on Sept 21st and down 60.8 lbs, front and side views.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
