Hi Everyone, Everyone has been a such inspiration that I thought I would post my pictures. The picture that I am in the green sweater is me at 120lbs at my one year mark. I am now down 140lbs, but I will take more pictures later.

Here are my photos - taken today!!!

BEFORE PICTURE

Recent pictures from sisters wedding.

Before and recent... 120lbs lost, 10 months.

1 Week Before (shown with the soon-to-be ex-wife):

Current:

Still many pounds to go, but a big improvement over my original.

I am 1 month until my year post-op. Still have about 15ish pounds to go. I love my band!!!

Everyone looks great!!

I am still around 30 lbs. from my goal but I am feeling great.

Love the before and after pics. I will need a tummy tuck but have to save for it.

Congratulations to everyone....:wink2::smile2:

I thought I didn't have any before pictures.... But I found some that were taken on New Years Eve 2007-08. That is the only way I could get in front of a camera, with a few drinks in me.... The other was taken in June 2007. The current pictures have all been taken in the last month (alcohol free :blushing:).

Every one looks sooooooooo amazing, keep up the good work.

After 2 years of looking at this thread, I am still in awe when I look at these pics, and how much of a differance this band makes in one's life. I know what a differance it has made in mine.

This is my favorite thread... no doubt.

This is now:

At my highest I weighed around 350. Now I'm at 160.

That was then.
