You look GREAT!! Congrats to u!

You look mahvelous! I'm about the same height as you (though considerably older :cry_smile: ) and have the same amount to lose.

I hope my results are similar to yours - in fact, I'm gonna work my tail off (literally) to make sure that they will be! I'm not banded yet, but hopefully soon...

Thanks for posting your inspirational story!:thumbup:

Wow , you look fantastic !!! Size 12 is a great size but you look like an 8 !!

I'm happy you got the surgery so young so you can enjoy life :thumbup:

Puking , yeah, bet that's disturbing. I'm jumping back into this after chickening out 2 years ago. I puke now from over-eating at night while consuming too much soda or chocolate milk , not only or just vomiting but choking on it , being woken up from choking on it. I know I;m treading dangerous ground there. I believe it's called Aspirating.

Keep up the amazing work and CONGRATULATIONS!!!!

Congrats! You look fabulous!!

America's Next Top! You look good girl!

Wow... It's so nice to read and see your success story and know it really is something we can all strive for. Thanks for sharing your journal - warts and all! I'll be banded on November 18th and my number one reason for making this decision (after so many years) is because I can feel my body breaking down and the aches and pains are so much more prevalant. But... I also want one more chance at being beautiful and SEXY!!!
