Pre-band (I'm now 6 months post and down 79lbs). There are not many of these and most are cropped, but just to put things into perspective and realize how far I've come in such a short time. The Band works wonders for those that have ANY doubt! Geez, I

I know you may not be proud of these pics but you were and still are beautiful. I'm loving the dress in the right picture. That would be one I'd have to alter.

Girl, you are GORGEOUS!!! You were stunning before the weight loss and stunning after. You must have good genes!

I'm glad I found your pics - I'm scheduled for surg in less than a week - started at 287.5 and now down to 270.8 ...... I've always felt that despite the weight I'm an attractive woman full of life and when I see these pics and your success I'm EXCITED!!! I can't wait to start this and be the me that's underneath ;o) Watch out world - this girl is going to look good in June when her son graduates!

You are beautiful on ALL your photos. So glad I took a look at the photo section. I am doing my 6 month of dr supervised visits and am hoping I get approved after that...you are inspiring for me. I wish I could take the photos before as you did to document hopeful progress for myself but I dont want those anywhere for anyone to see! I need lots more courage before that would happen...LOL. Keep it up...you look absolutely fantastic! Cant wait for my journey to begin!
