Guy before/ after Picture



Recommended Posts

Hey Guys,

I know that typically we are not the sharing type :) but would anyone be willing to post some before and after pictures? I am scheduled for surgery on Dec 18th and I am trying to get the correct expectation. I know there is a picture before/after section and I have gone through the 100+ postings but most postings are ladies.

We all have the same issues I'm sure. I would like to lose the belly and somehow lose the man boobs so I can wear a shirt without feeling uncomfortable.

I just had my band placed on Nov. 28th. All I got are before pics. I will post them up anyway just to get the ball rolling!

Here goes!

By the way... the before pics were taken the first day of my Pre-Op diet. I lost 25 lbs just in the 2 weeks before my surgery. I went from my peak of 400 lbs, to 375 lbs. I think I am in the 360's now but will not step on a scale again until Wednesday. That is when I see my Doc again.

Manatee, Holy Crap man you have really made some impressive progress. Can you tell us your routine or your activity level. I am glad that you and Cagstorm took the time to post and I appreciate it. I really needed a guy that has made this work for him and I am really happy to see that you are living the dream.

Good going John!

One of the things I want once I get to goal (or close) is a new leather riding jacket. I just fit in mine now, but want it smaller size!

I have a leather bomber jacket that was my dad's from WWII. The last time it fit me I had lost a lot of weight (on Medifast about 18 years ago) and had put some money into fixing it, since it was showing a little sign of age and wear. It's my goal to fit back into it again.

I was banded December 18, 2006

The before pic was taken the day before surgery and the after was about a week after my one year anniversary.

The band has been one of the best decisions I ever made. Still have about 10-15 lbs to go and I will be at my goal weight.

Wow - a Year and 100 lbs make a huge difference :cool: Great work!

John

Thanks, I know it made a huge difference in how I feel. I did not realise how much it was affecting my health. I have so much more energy and I feel great.

Good luck,

Wayne

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
