The before is from my last vacation before getting banded. The other is from this past Saturday night.

I've continued to avoid having my picture taken, but when I was sent this image I finally saw some of the changes my friends and family have been talking about.

Banded May 10th by Dr. Lau @ TLBC

I am down 75 lbs. I'm not at goal, yet!

~Still working on it~

Just thought I would share my progress this far.

I love to look at before and afters!

I was banded 3/29/07. 5'6"

Here is another month down and another 10 pounds gone forever. First is before surgery, next is oct 19th and 3rd is from today. Presurgery closeup is almost too embarrasing to post, but shows so much success and gives me motivation to keep going. Everyone is doing such a fabulous job. Keep up the awesome work!!!

I think I might have posted this "after" (during) pic before but just found this before pic - it was definitely my highest. I makes me cringe.
