Today is my 1 year bandiversary. I couldn't be happier with my decision to have the lapband! I have lost 86 lbs so far...Here are some pics...

In the side pics, the first pic I had probably already lost 45ish pounds. But the first shot and the head shot are heaviest to current.

Here are two pictures showing what i looked like at the starting of my Lap Band Journey. The first is from Sept. 2008, when i started going to my Doctor. I was at 469 lbs. I had surgery in December of 2008 and I was 410 lbs at that point. The 2nd picture is from today (June 24th, 2009) at 325 lbs. :bored:

I am so inspired by all of your pictures! Everyone looks amazing. Today is 3 months and 5 days out. I feel wonderful and people are finally starting to notice. I went from a 32 to a 20! This is the best thing I have ever done for myself I only wish I had the guts to do it 10 years ago! I am 33 years old...I can't even imagine what my life would have been like if I had this done earlier. Most likely even more of a blast just a bit less embarrassing and in better clothes.

Ya'll are all my sheroes/heroes. As soon as I get into one of my "pitty parties" and "can't-do conventions", i come to this thread. I still have a ways to go, but i can't believe how far I have come.

The first pic is me at about 322lb and the second pic is me at about 230lbs. Again, I still have quite a ways to go, but I am slowly geting there.

Thanks again, everyone.

Today is my one year bandiversary, so I wanted to post some pics. My weight loss isn't nearly as impressive as many of you, but I'm still pretty pleased.
