It's been a while since I posted my progress pictures. I'm currently 18 months post-op. I'm still losing slowly and my body is toning up nice. I couldn't be happier! Love my Band!!!

Banded June 9 2009 Dr Kirshenbaum Pre op 282 Currently 209. Before photo was a month before my surgery and I couldn't complete a 5K walk. This weekend on my birthday I completed a 13.1 mile half marathon. I'm a happy camper and I cant wait to take another 30lbs off for my one year anniversary of being banded.

Still my favourite thread of all time, love looking at the pictures for inspiration and motivation. Congrats to everyone on their success! :thumbdown:

The first pictures are the dreaded before and then the during at -125lbs and a size 12-14, still have another 40-60lbs to go. The second is the face before and during. Kinda sad that it took almost 30 years, but I had my first Valentine's Day date so I got to get all done up which was a fun process all in its own. :thumbdown:

Having the surgery was the best thing I have done for myself! Chrissy (my lap band) has helped to become healthier, self-confident and excited about life.....

Good luck to everyone as you meet your inner person!!!

The first picture I weighed between 230-240 and the second picture, which is current, I am weighing 182! I should take a picture with the same shirt... wow it will probably swallow me.... LOL

      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.
