Recommended Posts

Hello all! I have attached my before pic from Nov 2007 and and after picture from Nov 2008. I need to get another pic since I have lost 20 more pounds since that picture.

After - 140lbs

This is 1y 2m after being banded & 1m after my tummy-tuck. I really don't know what I did to lose so fast or else I would tell everyone! I feel like I just eat dramatically less. But I still eat the same sort of food as I did before. Minus all fast food. But yeah, I thought I'd share.

I should really have had the picture taken earlier in the day before the make-up goes to pieces!

At any rate, here is me before (279 lbs) and down 70 today - assuming the picture works.

Lana! You look Fab!

OMG, it's so funny - someone never looks like how you imagine them to look.

Anyway, you're gorgeous and congrats on doing so awesome.

EVERYONE YOU LOOK AMAZING! What a difference the band makes!

Okay I guess its my turn to take the B&A plunge! Here is where I've been and where I am so far.

I'm pretty happy with how the weight is coming off. Still working at getting to goal though. What does a girl have to do to lose this gut!

I hope this helps anybody who is on the fence. Join the band!

BTW: I had to include a pic of me walking in the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade! It was AWESOME!:mad2:

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
