I’ve thought I would post a before and after shot of me to show you the difference in my face from pre-banding to now. The pre-shot was taken on the morning of my surgery day…driving to get banded! The current shot was taken a few days ago. I can definitely notice a difference in my chin.

Click on the shots to see them in full size!

You look fantastic! Wow, what a great feeling and it only gets better and better! You should be so proud! I always look at my double chin in the side mirrors when driving. In fact today while I was getting a hair cut I was fixated on my chin...fantasizing on getting my hair done in a few months and getting the hair cut I want because my face will be slimmer! You are such a good motivator for us to keep going! Thankx for posting

Congrats on the weight loss! You look great! Keep up the good work!

You look wonderful! Congratulations. I just signed up on this site as I just had my banding done on 4/15/08 and am just over my first week. I am feeling nervous and scared and hope that I will be able to find help and support here. You do look wonderful!

Thank you everyone!!! I am beginning to feel wonderful and I know it will only get better from here!!!

Lise, you are beautiful! I also really enjoy your posts. I am so happy for you. Thanks for being an inspiration!

I Lise (band twin)! Well done! All of my big scrubs are getting a bit baggy too! I still weigh too much to get into my next scrub size down, so I will try again when I am another ten pounds down. Keep up the good work. SS

Holy crap! You look great! Keep up the good work! So proud of you!

WOW! What a difference. You look great. Congratulations! Has your energy level increased too?
