Before and After Lap Band Surgery - PICTURES ONLY



Recommended Posts

I have not been here in ages. The first pictures were taken in 2007 prior to my surgery. The last one I took about a month ago. I was banded on April 8, 2008. I went from a size 20 (237 pounds) to a size 12 (165 pounds).

Well...here is the first before and after I've posted. I've exceeded my goal, but am training for a half marathon and expect to lose a bit more. The after picture was taken today at work, after I showed a coworker my before picture. She insisted on taking an after picture (ugh--not the best!) and emailing both of them to her daughter to convince her to get banded!

Before I had my surgery almost two years ago, I made a list of all the goals I had. Of those 20 or so things, I only have about 3 of my original left (I've added a few more now!) One that I recently crossed off last weekend: feeling confident in a swimsuit in Vegas!

So here are some before and after pics of me. I've been maintaining between 140 and 150 for about 9 months now, and Vegas was a good way to Celebrate :thumbup:

      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.
