You look AMAZING!!! My starting weight is 399 and after one week pre-op I'm down 13! Happy about that but have a long week to go yet. Can I ask if you have any issues with loose skin particularly on your tummy? After giving birth to twins 5 years ago and then following it up with a massive weight gain, I won't be surprised if I need a tummy tuck!!

Thanks!

And yes, I have MAJOR loose skin issues. I just had 12 pounds of skin removed from my tummy 2 months ago. You can see how bad it was here: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/topic/169905-tummy-tuck-before-after-pics/

I still have considerable excess skin on my arms and legs. It's not pretty but it's still tons better than weighing what I used to. My logic is, I can hide excess skin with clothes. I couldn't "hide" over 200 extra pounds.

The extra skin is worth it.

I have chills! How udderly amazing! You look beautiful. I started at 353 and had a RNY 11 years ago, I never made it down to onderland and am holding at 220-230ish. I'm hoping having a band put over my bypass will give me the boost I need to make down to 160ish. You are an inspiration lady!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! it only took you 18 months I am almost a year so I hope I am starting to look as good as you on my weight loss in a few months , people do comment that I look like I have lost a lot of weight but I a slowly seeing it I do know though when I try on a pair of pants and I put on a pair of xl shorts and they fit or a xl shirt and it fit so I see it in apparel but not when I look in the mirror yet but I can tell in my clothes.
