Before and After Lap Band Surgery - PICTURES ONLY

[IBLoser 0]

Thank you all for your kind words! It really makes me proud of what I've accomplished so far! When I posted those photos it was the first time in 6 months that I had ever seen my "before" photo - I had no idea how really terrible I looked - I knew how I felt, but didn't really know what I had become since I avoided cameras at all cost! I decided to do an "apples for apples" comparison this morning wearing similar clothing. Here are the resulting photos. This year is OUR YEAR! Keep up the hard work (yes, it sure isn't easy, is it?)...

Everyone looks so good!

I wanted to do a face comparison, so I used a mirror and here are the results. Hellow neck! I see my chin, and when did my nose get so little on my face, and now I really see them! thankfully!! I have lost almost 40 lbs since the first pic in Jan 06. I had surgery in July and the after pic was yesterday. It is coming off slow... but I am so happy with the band. My next goal is to start exersizing! I only have 70 more lbs to goal!

I have stopped losing weight as fast but I am still exercising and eating right. This too shall pass.

These pics were taken (1) 2 weeks after banding (April 2006) and (2) Christmas Day. I figured I'd take the plunge and share, since your posts have inspired me so much along the way.

I haven't posted on this thread in a while. The current pic was taken at Thanksgiving and I have lost about 15 to 20 pounds since then. I have gone from a 56 inch waist pant to a 36 inch waist and from a 3x/4x shirt to a large.
