I'm obviously on team sleeve! lol I just haven't heard great things about the Lapband. You have to choose what's important to you. I can order something and eat an okay amount right now. I eat much slower than everyone and don't eat a ton. But if I go out, I'll get a small salad or a Soup or something like that. I was scared of this too...but in the end loosing weight was more important than all of those things. I just figured it all out after my surgery! I'm still able to enjoy a beer if I want one...I am only 23 after all

Thank you so much for the encouragement...... Going through the doughting stage. I am 5'1" and 243 pound........really need this but am going through the should I or shouldn't I stage......

LOL.. Well, crap there goes that theory. I'm 5'3" too!

Well, I'm 5'3" and I'm pretty sure I'm never going to look like that again at any weight, lol. Ahh, youth

Congrats! You look amazing ::wolfwhistles:: I can't wait to feel comfortable again without a shirt This time next year I will not leave the beach

You look fabulous! You are the perfect example of what my doctor said about excess skin. It depends on your age & how long you have been overweight. I passed 23 more than 23 years ago (haha) & I've been overweight for almost 23 years in fact so I'm basically screwed. But I'll be healthier once I lose the weight & I'll be just as happy to shove my excess skin in a wheelbarrow & push it ahead of me! I can't imagine how delighted you must be with your new body! Enjoy it darling! You deserve it!

you are super adorable! congrats on being near the end of your weight loss journey and now into maintenance. I know what you mean by having 2 shirts to choose from and one pair of pants. I've been like that for like 4 years...every once in awhile replacing one when it gets holes. I can't wait to have a nice wardrobe of all ONE SIZE AND NOT MANY DIFFERENT SIZES.

You look great - not sure whether my skin will look like that - I think the fact that you're 23 has alot to do with that. You did it.
