Before and After Lap Band Surgery - PICTURES ONLY



Recommended Posts

Well, I've never posted a before and after pic before but I hit the 50 lb milestone a few days ago and I figured it was time...

My before pic (blue t-shirt in case you can't tell :) ) is me at 285 last year. I couldn't find a more flattering picture - I usually hide when cameras come out but someone caught me unaware. The after pic is me in my bedroom today at 235. I still have 85 lbs to go, but I'm feeling so much better already. I can't wait to get under 200!!

Well here is one before picture of me at my wedding in July 2004. I didn't have my surgery until July of 05 but I probably still weighed the same. The other two pictures are of me last week on a cruise that my husband took me on as a suprise. He is such a good guy!

I couldnt figure out how to make the pics appear in the message so I attached them. I still have about 40 more pounds to go before I am done but this is progress. Everyone looks so good.

Here is my before and during. The before was taken last news years' day, and the other one is from late Sept 26, not that anything has really changed from September to now. Huge difference between January and September.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
