Banded June 9 2009 Dr Kirshenbaum Pre op 282 Currently 209. Before photo was a month before my surgery and I couldn't complete a 5K walk. This weekend on my birthday I completed a 13.1 mile half marathon. I'm a happy camper and I cant wait to take another 30lbs off for my one year anniversary of being banded.

Still my favourite thread of all time, love looking at the pictures for inspiration and motivation. Congrats to everyone on their success! :thumbdown:

The first pictures are the dreaded before and then the during at -125lbs and a size 12-14, still have another 40-60lbs to go. The second is the face before and during. Kinda sad that it took almost 30 years, but I had my first Valentine's Day date so I got to get all done up which was a fun process all in its own. :thumbdown:

Hi Everyone!!

It has been just a little over 1 year from my surgery date and I am down 104lbs. I still have about 13 to lose but am getting there!

post-254273-13813139139044_thumb.jpg

Having the surgery was the best thing I have done for myself! Chrissy (my lap band) has helped to become healthier, self-confident and excited about life.....

Good luck to everyone as you meet your inner person!!!

The first picture I weighed between 230-240 and the second picture, which is current, I am weighing 182! I should take a picture with the same shirt... wow it will probably swallow me.... LOL
