Before & During Photos - Two thirds of the way to goal!

[aaa 3]

Hi all,

Thought I'd boost my current bad mood by posting a new before and during pic.

I had my surgery on 4 February 2011 when I was at 310lb. I had my first weight loss procedure (gastric balloon) almost a year ago at my highest at 376lbs.

Here I am today at 231lbs! Just 71lbs to go until goal...

Wow, you look great! So much smaller!!!

Can I ask how the gastric balloon worked and what you think of it compared to the sleeve? I am just curious as I saw that some surgeons are doing balloons on a trial basis. I see that you lost weight with the balloon but I'm just curious as to how it works and your thoughts on it.
