I'm Jana, I'm 24 and I've been large since I can remember. I was banded in August 2010, with a starting weight of 215lbs. I had originally decided to be banded not only because my dad had it done 3 years earlier than I had, and had been successful (he lost 160lbs) but I had just graduated college and was taking a year off to work before going to grad school. By the time I had finished my 2 week pre-surgical diet, I went into surgery at exactly 200 lbs. After 2+ years now with the band, and between 70-75 lbs lost, I underwent a tummy tuck, lipo of the flanks, and an arm lift on 12/21/12. I now weight anywhere between 140-145lbs (although that may still go down slightly as I still am swollen from my cosmetic surgery). I am looking forward to a future where no one would ever be able to tell I was large.
