Before and After Lap Band Surgery - PICTURES ONLY



Recommended Posts

I am not totally done yet, or at least I hope I am not done. I still have about 40 lbs left to lose. I go in for brachioplasty in February. I started out at 331 and am now down to 220.

To post a pic:

Put the pic in an album in your gallery first.

When you open your album, there will be a large pic and then below that there will be a thumbnail size.

Right click on the pic you want to post (large or small)

choose 'properties' a window will come up with the url you need to copy

copy the url

then come to this thread and reply

click on the insert image at the top of this reply box

clear the http that is in the box and paste your url.

I started my journey May 2008 at 286 pounds. Got down to 195 in a year before my surprise bundle of joy. Had a total unfill and creeped back up 283 at 9 months pregnant. Over the last 15 months, I have lost 111 pounds and I am so excited to be close to the finish line!

      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.
