You all look AMAZING!!! For someone who is just starting the procedure (still going for tests) this is such inspiration!!! I can't wait to start posting my before and after, hopefully sooner than later.

Here's two of me at my all time high of 282 pounds, before surgery. Like many of you, I always hid behind others in pictures so there aren't all true body shots of me when I was overweight. The last picture shows me at roughly 135 lbs. I got down to 128 lbs, but I had to have all the Fluid released from the band and a revisional surgery performed three weeks ago due to a pouch dilitation/slip. I have gained about 15 lbs in a couple months due to the restriction level fluctuation, but I will get my fluid back next week and hopefully lose that weight gain. You all look amazing! congrats to everyone on their success!

Thank you all so much :willy_nilly:

Hillmama...you look awesome. Definitely an inspiration. I'm in Leander, same age as you as well. I'm about a month out from my surgery. I can't wait to get to that point.

When did you get your surgery?

You do look like a model...gorgeous!

Thank you so much flychica! I was banded on March 25, 2008. I had the revision on Nov 16, 2009. I lost the majority of my weight September 2008 - February 2009. I'm fluctuating right now but will be stable again soon - I hope :willy_nilly: You will get to your point! Don't stress about that. I'm here to support you if you need anything!
