Everyone looks so great you inspired me to put some pics on here. This thread is amazing!

These are my first pics I have put on here. I don't know if I did it right... Moderator can you help? I put them on as attachments. If this does not work I will try again.

I am the one in the middle........The first one is two weeks before surgery on July 25th 2006. The second one is the last week of August 06. The last (and blurry one) was today at my store Nov 19. Pardon my crazy girls! I sure can see it in my face. These are the only pics I have cause I wouldn't take pictures if my friends didn't force me! I have lost a total of 34 lbs. Thanks for being there everyone!

First two pictures are before surgery and the last three pictures are in Europe last week. You can see a big difference in my face. And I sure can get around better these days. Thanks God for Lap-Band!

The first pic was taken a few days before surgery, and the second and third were just taken on Thanksgiving...Coming along little by little.

The first picture is of the family at Christmas a few years ago, but it is pretty representative of me at my largest. The second picture was taken Thanksgiving after 75 lbs lost.

Why do I always have such a stupid smile in pictures...I need to work on that one!

Hello everybody,

My pictures are already on the web elsewhere, so I won't copy them here.

http://www.riverofdata.com/lapband/pictures.htm has a whole bunch of them, from right before, to after, to after tummytuck.

If you want to see tummytuck pictures (a bit icky, as some are right after surgery, but nothing indecent in them), they're at:

http://www.riverofdata.com/lapband/tummytuckpix.htm

I haven't put up the ones from the second tummytuck, but these will show you that having that done isn't trivial, like the band itself is (well, trivial surgically, not in any other way).

Text to go with pictures is at: http://www.mylapband.tk/

cheers

The first pic was taken May 20, 2006, 3 weeks before my lapband surgery. The pic of me in the white shirt was taken November 14, 2006.

I have rued my 'fat' pics for so long but now I get inspiration for them...so I am going to take the plunge and share them with the world...I still have a fair bit to go but I am getting there....slowly.

This is a picture of me, already 20 pounds down from my highest weight (only picture I could find), and then another picture of me about a month ago. I am making progress. It is slow, but I can see the difference. Maybe I shouldn't have always been so camera shy so that I could see more of the work that I have accomplished.
