You have all been such an inspiration to me. Congratulations to all of you on your weight loss! You all truly look wonderful. I look forward to coming on the Before/After pix. So after four months and 76lbs down I have decided to post. This is still so hard just because I have so much more to loose. I am so thankful for the results though that I hope to give others hope that we can all fight the fight of morbid obesity and obesity alike. God Bless everyone on their journey...We can do this!

<HR style="COLOR: #e9e9e9" SIZE=1>Time for an update.

I hope the pics work this time!

First pics of me: Before and After LapBanding.

The first is in 2005 and the second pic is Early 2006. Same outfit, different look!

OK, next is late 2006 after a Tummy Tuck but I'm still losing weight.

Finally, here I am a few months ago - after goal weight. (I'll just put a link here. I'm fresh out of the shower in this picture, in my undies. Don't want to offend anyone!)

Even though this is an ongoing journey, Im proud of where I am. There are those who make snide comments ("Well you lost so much weight, you probably have so much hanging skin." or even "Oh, I guess you think you look so good now. Don't get a big head.")

No, I don't have a big head, but I haven't been this size in years. Hooray for the LapBand! clap2.gif

      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.
