Before and After Lap Band Surgery - PICTURES ONLY



Recommended Posts

I just celebrated my 3 month bandiversary 2 days ago. These pictures were taken 8 days ago. I have to explain the before pics. This was at our outdoor school last year so the reason my tongue is sticking out is because we were singing funny camp songs. This was not even at my highest. I think I gained an additional 10 pounds after these pictures were taken, but you get the picture! The other pics were taken a week ago. That is the same blue san francisco shirt in both pics. I had to take another after pic in a better shirt, cause the t-shirt is now way too big and has been demoted to a weekend only shirt!whoo.gif<!-- google_ad_section_end --><!-- / message --><!-- attachments -->

My 6-month bandiversary is in two days so I thought I would post my 6-month progress pics. I plan on getting a new pair of jeans (hopefully in a size 14!!) on my bandiversary and I'll take pics of me in regular clothes and post them then....I am just so excited to see the difference I couldn't wait to post these. I LOVE my band!

I posted on another thread...but thought I'd add my pics to this one too. The before pic was in June...a month before my surgery. The after pics are 16 weeks post surgery and 100.8 pounds later.

This thread is such motivation for me. I have not checked in for a while, but you are all doing so great! I am stuck right now, but more than 1/2 way there. I thought I would post my 6 month pics. The first one is the week before surgery, the 2nd is July and the last is 10/30.

Halfway there! I have slowed down a lot in the last few weeks, mostly due to my own poor choices. But I am back on track and ready to make it the next 40!

First pics are 5 days before surgery, after losing 10 lbs pre surgery, and the other two are pin up girl pictures from Halloween.

I haven't posted any pics here for a long time, so thought I'd do an update. I had surgery 9-5-06, and lost 108 to goal w/in 9 mo. I'm now down a few more pounds, and have been holding pretty steady for the past five months.

Before, about 275 lbs, size 26:

After, about 160 lbs., size 8-10:

And besides the band, this is how, LOL:

Oh and btw excuse the open mouth in the second pic....my husband was too impatient to wait for me to stop talking before he took the pics. EEEK all of these pics are about the worst I have ever taken LOL

      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.
