Hey everyone, this month is my 1 yr anniversary so I thought I would post some new pics, I have been unfilled for 2 1/2 months now due to gallbladder surgery complications. Hopefully will get a fill again in August. The before pics were taken when I went through a cave with my family in 2003, and the new ones are from last week on vacation when we went through a cave.

I'm not sure if I'm doing this right, but I'm giving it a try.

The picture with Dr. Rumbaut is the day before surgery - 11/21/02.

The next one is about -35 lbs.

The next 2 are at goal or pretty close to goal. :scalesno:

Here is a comparison (before) October 7, 2005 and (during) yesterday.

I finally found an older picture that was full length.

The second pic is from a year ago and then yesterday.

i was banded October 2006.

2006 - Joshua Tree National Park - June (over 400 lbs)

2007 - Disney World - June (about 301ish)

I am only one month post op but am so excited to share. I can tell a huge difference in my hips and badonkadonk.

I never thought I would lose enough weight to actually post, so for all of you who have slow weight loss - do not lose faith.

I think I almost went one full year without a fill, I didn't have great restriction, and then I begged for him to fill me tight - and he did, and the weight started to come off again - THANK GOODNESS. I've got 40 more to go, but I have HOPE!
