So funny how I have very few "before" photos! I was usually hiding behind the camera. I am down about 15lbs from the last photo taken (with my surgeon Dr. Miles).

I have not been here in ages. The first pictures were taken in 2007 prior to my surgery. The last one I took about a month ago. I was banded on April 8, 2008. I went from a size 20 (237 pounds) to a size 12 (165 pounds).
