Where did you post them, Brina? I can resize them for you but first I have to find them.

You are my hero!

The pics are located here:

LapBandTalk.com - Lap Band Forum > Main Lap-Band Surgery Forums > General Lap-Band Surgery Discussion navbits_finallink_ltr.gif Before and After Pictures - PIX ONLY <------

Could you show me how to post them at a smaller size so that I wont have to bug you so much? I think that the few pics that i have of myslef were taken with a digital camera and then upleaded to my computer. That means that ALL of the ones that I have will coem out this huge unless I figure out how to post them correctly.

Thanks again,

Quoting myself so I don't have to retype:

Open the picture in Paint. Click Image > Stretch/Skew. Enter a percentage value for horizontal and vertical. Enter the same percentage for both fields to maintain your aspect ratio. If you enter different numbers, your picture will be deformed.

The percentage is basically what you want the image to be resized to. E.g. entering 50% will resize the image to be half of its current size.

If it's still too large or small, just click Edit > Undo, and repeat the steps entering a larger or smaller percentage.

      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. 🤞
