Braveheart's Before and After 8 Months Pictures:

Here are a few of my updated photos...

And, an after back shot....

These are the morning of surgery, March 13, 2006. DH took the pics, his is not well known for his abilities as a photographer...:phanvan

**please note that this is not my smile, i had just put chat stick on and was rubbing my lips together...dh snapped the pic, it was supposed to be a full body shot anyway..:rolleyes

**notice the cheerleading skirts in the bottom right hand corner of pics, those were mine from high school, about 11-12 inches wide, maybe a 22 inch waist....ARG!! They won't even fit my thighs now...:confused:

My DSiL was kind enough to snap this one at the family reunion two days before surgery...:omg:

So you see, not so mini of me...Hey Tricia, i told you mine was bigger, butt, i mean but, here, take this :scared:

As soon as I lose enough inches, I will post some after pics, side by side with these...

Here is a picture of me in July 2004, one year prior to my banding. I wore a size 30/32 shirt (3-4X), size 30 jeans on a 5' 2" frame.

This second pic is 2 months after banding September 2005. Down to a size 2X, some 3X's, size 28 jeans.

I will post more recent pics asap.

Before - 260lbs

Work in progress - 191lbs
