320 lbs a day before surgery

Here's me lately. I have long hair (well sorta long) again!

This is the first time posting before and after pics...

Okay, so I finally got around to doing this. The first pic is about 1 month before surgery at my highest weight of 350 lbs. I don't have a scanner, so I had to take a picture of a picture. LOL! The second picture is 11 months after surgery & 55 lbs. gone. It was taken this Christmas in the boots & jeans my hubby gave me for Christmas.

If someone would like to put these side by side & resize them, that would be great! Thanks!

wel I am gonna post a headshot of me from 4/7/04 and the one I took christmas day. I can tell a difference in my face. I have to find some body shots later, lol I Have just one chin now lol

Here I am pre-surgery at about 400 lbs., and at Christmas -70 lbs.

I can definitely see some difference. Looking forward to a BIG difference in the months to come...

The first pic was taken June 2005, 1 month post op, second picture taken in Nov 2005.

Ok, I am posting my six month progress. I can't wait to see it side by side. It will be awesome to see it. I am so loving my band and what it has done for me so far. I still have another 50 to go and June is fast approaching. I haven't had a fill yet but I am looking forward to that in January after gallbladder surgery. YAY!

Hi everyone. I don't want to be mean, but can we crop family members out of this thread and add the family pictures to the regular picture thread? This thread was started after several requests were made by people considering the band. We'd like this to remain a true "Before and After" pictures thread to inspire anyone having a hard time or thinking of the band. Here's my latest. If anyone needs help putting their pictures side-by-side, there are so many helpful people here at LBT. All you gotta do is ask.

THANK YOU, HEATHER!

Everyone looks great!! I finally decided to post my before and during pictures here. My starting weight was 305:eek: In this picture I was down to 230ish.

The one with the beanie was this summer and the one with the big zit by my nose was last weekend.

Does anyone see a difference? I cant even tell if there is one or not.
