Before and After Lap Band Surgery - PICTURES ONLY



Recommended Posts

Guess I need to buy a scanner, because I didn't have a digital before my surgery. But the good news in that I am down 95 lbs. since my Sept. '06 operation!:( Still got a ways to go, but I like the results I've seen in just 8 months. This was just a quick shot I took yesterday morning of the "new" me........

Hi all, I'm an Aussie bandit. Now that I'm 4 months post-op, I'm posting my first progress pics. First is pre-op in January at pre-banding weight of 130kg (286lb), next is 2 moths post-op at 112kg (246 lb), last is my current pic at 4 months post-op - weight is 103kg (226 lb). Please don't look at the bad haircut!

I love this thread - there's so much inspiration here!

      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.
