This is 1y 2m after being banded & 1m after my tummy-tuck. I really don't know what I did to lose so fast or else I would tell everyone! I feel like I just eat dramatically less. But I still eat the same sort of food as I did before. Minus all fast food. But yeah, I thought I'd share.

I thought I would post a recent picture from my trip to Disney versus my last trip in 2006

I should really have had the picture taken earlier in the day before the make-up goes to pieces!

At any rate, here is me before (279 lbs) and down 70 today - assuming the picture works.

Lana! You look Fab!

OMG, it's so funny - someone never looks like how you imagine them to look.

Anyway, you're gorgeous and congrats on doing so awesome.

Well I´m half way there. The first photo was taken a week before my surgery, May 2008, the one with the green boots was taken first of March

EVERYONE YOU LOOK AMAZING! What a difference the band makes!

Okay I guess its my turn to take the B&A plunge! Here is where I've been and where I am so far.

I'm pretty happy with how the weight is coming off. Still working at getting to goal though. What does a girl have to do to lose this gut!

I hope this helps anybody who is on the fence. Join the band!

BTW: I had to include a pic of me walking in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade! It was AWESOME!:mad2:

Because it's been a while. Coming up on 2 years post-op now.

Before, in the white with 46-48" jeans, at my highest @ ~300 lbs. I had the surgery 6 months later.

Now, in the 34-36" jeans :thumbup:
