-75lbs I cant wait until the weight is all gone and i never want to see fat again.

this has been one of the best decisions i've ever made....i feel so blessed.

It's been almost 10 months since my surgery. Here's my most recent picture.

at my heaviest .january '07 started playing with the idea of WLS...

month preop 4/2008

yesterday 7/12/08

i LOVE taking pictures now!!!!!

body pics to come later :party:

Ok, I haven't posted in a while. I went to a wedding yesterday and though I could take some cute ones instead of being in my workout clothes. I still cant believe the difference in my face. I had some family from Seattle and even here in Sacramento who didnt even recognize me! LOL

Ok, this one is SO ugly - but as it is... It was just before surgery:

These are the ones taken just yesterday:

Allright, an updated pic. The first is 380 on 2/10/08, the second is 323 and it was taken yesterday. I FINALLY fit into those jeans and it felt GREAT!

Well since I have been asked for before pics many times this week I am going to post this in honor a bit early for my 2 year bandiversary, and being ALL DONE! I bought a small dress so there is nothing left! lol...

1st picture 2/14/08 240 pounds

2nd picture 10/2006 308 pounds

7/8/2008 232 pounds

I need to take a more current full length picture but i thought I would see if i could get these to post this time. I am very happy that i had my surgery a year ago. I am struggling at this time getting a right fill amount, but I know I will and it will all work again. I have went from a size 30 jeans ... down to a size 18/20. That feels AMAZING!!!!!!

i cant believe today has been one yr since I was banded !!!

What a road ! One yr and 100 pounds later !

hope it works

Here is my before/during/*almost after*. I'd still like to lose another 5-10 lbs., but I'm already 5lbs below my original *impossible* goal.

I'm still losing 2-3lbs a month. I'm afraid of reaching the point where the lbs come my off face and boobs instead of my butt--that'll be the stopping point for me!

I'm wearing size SIX Levi's and a women's medium top. I haven't been this small since the mid 90's.

Still happy, still healthy (blood sugar is NORMAL), no more aches/pains/reflux. Still the best thing I've ever done.

Here I am, down 30lbs! Not too much of a change, but at least I have a neck now! LOL

Still working on the chin, but I'll get there... Just had my 1st fill yesterday... WooHoo...

thought i would share a new photo my wife took while she was replicating one from last year. It is seven months after my surgery and about 65 lbs. lost

Still a work in progress. :thumbdown: 6 month bandiversary was yesterday.

thought since i hit the 100+ lost marker i would put up a pic.. im now down 104lbs..
