Band day is tomorrow for me, but I might not be online. So, here's the anniversary pics. That's a 36 waist pant and a medium shirt in the top pics, 48 and 3XL in the bottom ones

The first picture is at my wedding-about 5 months after my band (40lbs down) and 3 months after my mom's band (20lbs down). The next pictures are ones our surgeon wanted us to have done as "after pics". I am down 150lbs and my mom is down 80lbs. I am so proud of both of us, I thought I would show us off!

pics are huge

Today is my band-versary! Down 90 lbs :cursing: I suppose I can stop monthly pictures now and just take them when I have had some significant weight loss. I started at a pants size 22 and am now in a 10/12.
