☠carolinagirl☠ 18,721 Posted November 18, 2013 well, hub found this pic of me at christmas, 2011 and i had to do a side by side face...i had my surgery june 2012..........and this picture in black was me yesterday (17 months later) did i even have a neck? hard to believe that was me..but that is me well, for any larger BMI person seeing this, please believe that you CAN have this surgery and it WILL work.....be patient and stop worrying about what you cant control.. you can control your food choices and if you exercise or not...let the band do the rest... 17 Debbie3sons, Watchershrink83, DELETE THIS ACCOUNT! and 14 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
