Before and After Lap Band Surgery - PICTURES ONLY



Recommended Posts

The only picture I had for a "before" shot was the one I put on here, in the pink blouse. I was about 176 in that shot and that was in August 2006.

This picture is me ( I am the one on the left) a Christmas at 190. What a difference 14 pounds does because I felt so much bigger!

sorry i dont really post too much here. i do keep up with everyone tho. i thought i would post new pics of me and hubby. to date hubby has lost 155lbs and i have lost 91lbs. i am 7lbs from goal and its really hard to believe. having been banded 3/06 i never thought i would see my goal, but its just around the corner. hubby has about 70 more lbs to go. i actually enjoy going out and buying clothes now. everyone here has been such an inspiration and the bond here is genuine.

I'm going to the gym now and starting to add muscle, so the weight isn't moving much now as I'm replacing fat but my sizes are going down so I know its working. Now if I could just get rid of the double-chin.

The first picture was taken Christmas 2005 and the second one today. I am down 99lbs (I know my ticker says 102 but Chistmas came and...) and am still working on the rest. I want to get below 200lbs this year if I can and then I will see how I look and feel and take the rest from there.

"Before" was taken the day of surgery.

"After" was taken two months ago.

This band is the greatest tool ever invented. It has changed my life in so many ways. I just always remember it is not a CURE it is a TOOL.

Huggs, Shirley

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
