Here's a before and DURING photo for you all.... not 'cause I'm fishing for compliments, but to provide inspiration for those considering the band. This thread was instrumental in helping me make my decision, for sure!!! Thanks to all of you at LBT (and especially the Violets) for your constant support and inspiration!

After (Dec 10, 07)

Before

My husband and I are banded and are still both works in progress. Steve was banded March 2005 and I had surgery Sept 2006. Steve's BMI started at 40.1 and is down to 30.2. I started at about 205 and am down to 145ish....and finally a size 8!! But the best thing is we're off the couch and back into life....the last pic is a mountain bike race from October 2007. We finished 3rd in the Master's Group...(that's the over 40 old farts)

:clap2:

<p><p>I havent had surgery yet but this is who i am! Hi every1 you guys look awesome!</p> <p> </p> <p></p></p>

The first one is my highest weight, before surgery. The second is tonight at our company Christmas party.

I am so excited..Just had my extended tummy tuck, butt lift, breast lift and off course augmentation...and here is part of my result. I decided to have the PS done here in Tijuana MX and can I just say I couldn't be happier with my choice...Dr. Luis Suarez and his staff were awesome...I have to write my whole experience down for you....They have been great and the pain has been little to none...The cost is what got me hear in the US I was looking at paying over 30K here I only paid $9,950.....

Dr Suarez site is Plastic Surgery Tijuana, Mexico, Plastic Surgeon Tijuana

this is before surgery..Im in the orange if ya cant guess..there not very many full body pics of me that exist wonder why? lol
