I know it isn't much.. but i am one month out.. these are just head shots b/c that is really all you can tell so far...

I am down 29lbs and 6 inches from my body so far...

i hope this works!

Finally back into the mid 170s, after ballooning up to almost 200 during my unfill/revision/healing etc in March/April.

New current pics, old pic is at 260 a few days before the original surgery

OK, I'm just over 2 years out. Before 237, current 165:

Little over 9 months the first picture is at 290 and the second is at 211

Ok, thought I would post some of my before/after since plastic surgery.

Here is the before..... (PUKE...)

August 2006 just before surgery, 320 pounds

June 2008

I HATE this picture because it makes me look like I have a double chin, so avoid the face and look at the body...lol...

Boo Boo - what a transformation.

You have gone from classic beauty to downright knock-out!

(I love your Warhol-ian signature pic, too!)

OK - it's been 6 months since I posted on this thread. Time for a pic update, although I basically look the same (it's been 3 years but I lost sooooo slowwwwly at first. Took about 15 months to get that band jump-started, :embaressed_smile:) This band is a journey, some of our bodies continue to "tune up" even long after it's done.

Here it is - The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.

Be kind - and remember: "Sagging Can Be Sexy!"

(Or so I tell myself til I have lipo & boob job, LOL)

THE FIRST YEAR after Banding

THE SECOND YEAR

Still losing... ...Lost a bit more

STARTING THE THIRD YEAR:

Earlier in the year, almost got 'too' small, but now it's evened out nicely.

(Hey, I finally figured out how to make the photo links smaller. Hooray! )

6 months ago: 3 Months Ago:

Yesterday:

All I'm trying to say is - The scale is never the real authority on your progress. It's how you look and how you feel. And also - this band takes you places that you never thought you'd go. Who knew there was a 'skinnier girl' inside me? If I get a "Nip/Tuck" I will be unstoppable! Even without it, I feel pretty good! Enjoy the journey.

Hey everybody I hope this works. This is my progress so far. I started at 340 and am now 263 so I have lost 77 pounds. I have on the same top in all pics so you can see how it is starting to get baggy.

I'm gonna try and post some before -n- after. Older pic (longer hair) was December 07. More recent was taken about 2.5 weeks ago.

Uh, this might not work...

Everybody looks so great! I was feeling good about myself today, so thought I would post pictures again:

Dark sweater was Christmas 2005 (about 350 pounds), yellowy blouse was one month before surgery in August of 2007 (about 310 pounds) and the white/green top is today at 185 pounds.

I have been thinking about posting here for so long, but I just never felt ready. I guess here goes....

The first is April 18th, 2007 the night before surgery at 295. I had lost 10 pounds in the two week prior dieting.

This one is June 27th, 2008 Almost 100 pounds down and loving life again. :tt2:

Cut from my favorite thread...but this is me, before and after...I've still got 40 to 50 pounds togo before plastic surgery, but golly I feel great.

I have been so inspired by this thread for the last year. I'm excited to be able to post my first progress pics to hopefully inspire someones else.

First pics (pink) are December 2007 at about 340lbs

The second set (green) are from June 2008 at about 260lbs

I've lost 83 lbs since my journey began in January 2008.

My surgery was in February 2008. Exactly 6 months TODAY!!
