Hi everyone!! I just want to say I am so inspired by everyone's before and after's!!!! I am 11 weeks post surgery and down as of today 39 lbs. I figured I would post some pictures from Halloween 2008 - 2009. I am actually pretty disappointed I thought there would be more of a difference but oh well, got to stay motivated.

and what better way then posting pictures you dont like on the internet!

Ok, I am about a year post-op. I'm down about 65 pounds. I was hoping for at least 100 by this point. I guess I will just have to be patient. Here are some before and afters. I'm the one on the right in both pictures.

218 280 (yep that is all me! You hae to look close to see how WIDE I am)

Hello all, it has been a really long time since I’ve posted in here. I just found a relic (I’d like to call it) of me at my very heaviest. And just recently I’ve re-entered the losing game, so I’ve been feeling pretty darn good.

All the best!

I was banded Oct 2007. I had a lot of trouble with fills got sick a lot for a year, finally in Dec of 08 i had my band drained and have not went back since. I lost 20 lbs and maintained the loss until 2 months ago. I've gained it back, almost back to my starting weight again. :sad: here are my after the band pics, but still considered before pics since i have not lost any weight....
