The first picture is at my friend's wedding in August (about 3 weeks before surgery - I was at my high of 313). The second picture was taken a couple days ago - I am now at 265. Almost 50 lbs gone!!

The 3rd & 4th pictures are face comparisons... the 3rd one was taken some time in the summer before surgery and the 4th picture was taken a couple weeks ago.

These are my six month progress pics. Down@ 50 lbs

You are looking soooo good. Keep up the good work.

I would be so lost without my band.

Hi, this is my husband and me on New Years Eve overlooking Sydney Harbour (which is where we live). I hadn't worn this outfit for 5 years (couldn't bear to get rid of it) so I was happy and we had a great night.

I've noticed a huge change in my face...

That was yesterday

At my heaviest

YAY YAY YAY

7 months and counting. 61 pounds down so far and so happy. It's recently that most people have noticed. I get comments like "you're withering away" "hey slim" etc. I love it! :tongue:

I was banded on Dec 4th. I've lost 70lbs so far . I'm about half way to my goal.

I haven't been on in awhile....I used to be under Stacy 73, but updated some info.. so here are some comparison photos of me...

first one is starting weight of 277+, second one is current

Hi. To clarify. I've lost the 70 lbs since I went to my very first appointment the third week of September 08. I go in tomorrow the 5th for my first fill. Was banded on Dec 4th. I feel like a new man already. Getting this tool is the very best thing that I have ever done in my life. Except for getting married to the most wonderful woman in the world 21years ago!!

ok, i got banded 09-03-08 and its been 4 months! here are some pics xoxox

I hope this works this is me before surgery in March 08 at 270 lbs. and me a few days ago at 223lbs. I still have a long way to go but I like what I am starting to see.
