OK....I just got up the guts to post my BEFORE and NOW pics.......and in a swim suit!! YIKES! I was banded July 17, 07. I have lost 45 pounds. I didn't really notice a difference in how I look until recently. People are starting to comment on how much I have lost. I plan to loose 45-50 more!! Just wanted to share!!!

Gladster, you are looking GREAT! I started noticing a big change after the first 20 pounds, but it seems no one else did, and when I hit 35 I really saw a diference and STILL was only get occasional comments. However, in the last three weeks, EVERYONE has noticed a difference (I'm at 50 now) and it's not just "a difference", it's a "WOW!" difference! Actually there seems to be a point when the POUNDS start to slow down a little and the INCHES start to fall of, and that's when people started to stop me in the hallway and go WOW. You've done a phenominal job! Keep it up!

You look great! I can see the loss all over your body! Thanks for posting them...I started at the same weight and had surgery with Dr. Rodriguez, too, so it's cool to see what I might look like when I lose some more!

Keep up the good work!

:whoo:
