Before and After Lap Band Surgery - PICTURES ONLY



Recommended Posts

Hello Everyone:

The one in the green shirt is of me before surgery. The ones taken today in the black and grey striped shirt are of me minus about 55(?) lbs. I have a weigh in coming up so I will know how much I have really lost/gained.

Thank ya'll for continuing to be my inspiration.

** I am sorry that I don't know how to make these pics smaller. **

I hit onederland today so I thought it would be appropriate to post a few pics. The first is me during Christmas of 2006 and the second is me on 10/12/08 after appearing in a fashion show for my bariatric group.

It's amazing. I was down 82 pounds in the second picture.

Yeah! This picture was taken at my DD's wedding yesterday. Isn't my mom just the cutest!

After 9 months I made it to goal, Size 6! This dress hung in my closet for three years, so dang happy I was able to finally wear it.:biggrin:

I will be working on getting the comments off the the thread .

we prune them from time to time and it has not been done in quite some time.

give it a day or so and it should be better. This thread is SUPPOSE To be limited to Pictures ONLY but it seems to not work that way .

Thanks

Mindy

EVERYONE PLEASE READ : With the PM system that is in place and now the places for comments to be left in peoples profiles PLEASE leave comments about peoples pictures in either of those places.

The comments bog down the thread and as people have said they have to weed through the thread to find the pics. The comments are GREAT and we ALL LOVE THEM But please put them PM the person or put them in their profile comments section .

Thanks

Mindy

My weight last summer topped out (I think) at 322lbs.

My weight at my initial consultation at the surgeon's office was 302.

My weight the morning of surgery was 289.

This morning, I weighed 241 pounds. My lowest weight since surgery was 238 last week.

I've lost 48 pounds since surgery and 81 pounds total.

I've gone from a size 26 jeans to size 18 jeans and a size 22/24 top to a 14/16 shirt. I can also fit into XL shirts in several brands.

I bought some new work out clothes yesterday (in a 1x!! woo hoo). I am just over over 10 months post op and -68.5lbs . The first picture is the day before surgery @ 319.5lbs. Work in progress, but it takes pictures like this for me to realize the change.

      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. 🤞
