Before and After Lap Band Surgery - PICTURES ONLY



Recommended Posts

Okay, so I finally got around to doing this. The first pic is about 1 month before surgery at my highest weight of 350 lbs. I don't have a scanner, so I had to take a picture of a picture. LOL! The second picture is 11 months after surgery & 55 lbs. gone. It was taken this Christmas in the boots & jeans my hubby gave me for Christmas. :)

If someone would like to put these side by side & resize them, that would be great! Thanks!

Ok, I am posting my six month progress. I can't wait to see it side by side. It will be awesome to see it. I am so loving my band and what it has done for me so far. I still have another 50 to go and June is fast approaching. I haven't had a fill yet but I am looking forward to that in January after gallbladder surgery. :) YAY! :)

Hi everyone. I don't want to be mean, but can we crop family members out of this thread and add the family pictures to the regular picture thread? This thread was started after several requests were made by people considering the band. We'd like this to remain a true "Before and After" pictures thread to inspire anyone having a hard time or thinking of the band. Here's my latest. If anyone needs help putting their pictures side-by-side, there are so many helpful people here at LBT. All you gotta do is ask.

THANK YOU, HEATHER!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
