Before and After Lap Band Surgery - PICTURES ONLY



Recommended Posts

The picture on the left was taken on 1/14/07, 10 days before my surgery and one day before my pre-op diet began. The picture on the right was taken on 4/16/07, almost exactly 3 months later. I've only lost 28 lbs, but I think you can still see a difference. :clap2:

You've all been more than generous, posting your photos and giving me so much courage and ambition to do this.

My first set of photos are from 2 days before surgery. The second set is two months later; about 28 pounds. I've not yet had a fill due to a 90 day waiting period, which is scheduled for May 8 - 1st fill! So right now I'm in bandster hell; hungry as anything - no restriction. I'm trying to do my best…but I can feel old habits lingering closely. This is NOT easy to do.

I was going to wait until I made it to 100 pounds lost to post pics, but close enough! LOL!!

The first one was one week after surgery. I was at 309 at the time, down ten pounds post surgery.

The others are from the last two weekends, down 90 pounds. I was at 229 at the time. (At least I'm not afraid of cameras anymore! )

One year banded 4/11/07 Progression photos.

I am currently undergoing intensive weight training and expect to be close to goal weight/ fat% by July, 2007. I tried to reduce the size of these pictures by lowering the pixeling however you may see the pixel (squares).

My husband and I - Progression pictures. The before shot was taken on 4/07/06 and the After shot was taken 4/6/07. My husband is not banded but has lost the weight by working out with me at Gold's. Way to go DH!

      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! 😞
