The TRUTH about your DL...



Recommended Posts

Wow Kelly! I'll bet you DO get the double takes! What a difference! BTW, you look better in your recent pic...IMHO

(Can you tell I'm figuring out the lingo...LMAO! Hahaha)

editing: Oh, the thread...no weights in NC, but if I had to, I'd go at least 50lbs under and say 170, without a doubt.

Tennessee they don't ask for weight. I guess they figure why bother, who tells the truth anyway. I had mine renewed recently, not because of weightloss, but, because I am 10 years older than the picture (It was a great picture, I didn't want to give it up,) but, there was a huge difference in looks from 25-35 lol. I was in denial l guess. Just like I was about my weight before surgery.

Mine say 175.00 I lied when I put that down it was more like 220.00 but they did not know that. But I do get the double take when I do pull it out at the Dept stores. I look so different than my most wanted photo. But alas I go get a new one this year and hope fully I will be less than 175.00 and very proud to put my new weight.

Hi,

No weight listed here in TX, but I have an obvious problem with the pic looking like me present day! I went to pay a ticket at the drivers bureau. they looked at it several times and the lady asked if that was really me. I told her that I had lost some weight. She wanted to know how I did it. Led to a discussion about the lapband. She showed my license to everyone in the office. I still havent changed it though!

Babs in TX

334/180

-154

New goal: 170

I lied about my weight by about 30 pounds, and my DL says 280!!! :) (I had to look, as I couldn't remember).

This morning I was 234, so I'm nearly 50 pounds less now. But if I wait a couple more months, I may not need to change it... **sob**

:eek: :( :( :(

My DL pic was taken when I was still fairly thin. I think the weight on it is 145 and it wasn't a lie at the time. My passport pic was taken when I got fat. Hmmm....maybe I should start carrying both.

Okay-My DL says 135-and the guy behind the counter asked me the "Do you want to update anything?" question too....and I said (firmly) "NO!"

At the time I was like 265. Soooo that is a difference of 130 LBS!!!!!

Like DeLarla I too like the way 135 sounds....it has a nice ring to it.

My left leg probably weighs 135 lbs!!!

These are all too funny! Mine's not posted on my DL, but they asked me for a # several years ago. They put it somewhere.

well when I got my drivers license I was older - didn't drive until I was 27. When I put my weight down of course I LIED!!! I actually weighed 285 but put down 250 and so that has stayed this whole while. When I had surgery I was 308 so I weighed 58 lbs more when I had the surgery. Currently I am 40 lbs under that weight and I look totally different now BUT I get my license renewed for my birthday in August so it will be nice to see what my actual weight will be then!! :banana

oh! I nearly forgot! When I was a Navy Wife, my height was listed at 165 inches...
ROFLMAO! At that height, we'd all be beautifully proportioned before banding. Hard to find pants with a 78-inch inseam, though.

      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.
