I am very nervous about doing this and may take the pics down at some point. But for now... me before and where I am now. Still have about 25-30lbs to go (at least!). Also, my sister is not the best photographer and you will notice I have no feet.

Starting weight was 235 lbs. The first photo was taken the morning of my surgery. Now down to 200 lbs. 5 months later.

I haven't posted in this thread yet. I have lost 90lbs. as of today and I am shouting it from the roof tops. I have lost this weight in just under 5 months. I love my Band!

The 2st two pictures are of me at my highest weight of 354lbs. the 3rd is when I hit 60lbs. lost and the last two are of me this morning at 90lbs. down.

I hope that these pictures can bring inspiration to someone that may be struggling with weightloss and looking into the LapBand. Do it! It's the best thing I have done for myself in a long time and if I can do it you can to.

Cindy

I got this picture yesterday from my g'ma, and I couldn't believe it!! I forget how big I was, I didn't keep many pics of myself, so when other people show them to me I'm amazed. And I find it weird, even my teeth look different to me!!

(2-3 years pre-op)

This is a little scary. First pic was taken the end of Sept. I think I weighed about 287 lbs. then. Second pic was taken two days ago. 5 months after surgery. I now weigh 217.
