Okay, everyone, it's time to get our spirits up and give some hope to the newbies with a "B&A Photo Parade"! Doesn't matter how much you've lost; just show us those shiny, happy faces!

Here's me 3 months prior to my surgery . . .

and this morning. Today's pic has added photo effects by picnik.com. If you haven't tried the site, give it a shot. It's free and it's pretty cool!

Banded 10 years & maintaining my weight loss!! Any questions, message me.

this is a really critical post for all us lap band newbies. Thanks for posting this. I seem to be bombarded with negativity about the lapband... i won't be swayed, but would love more inspirational photos from others showing us that it can be done. Im amazed when others say you won't loose weight with the lapband... its bizarre... help me prove them wrong by inspiring us...My theory is that all the lapbanders who have reached goal are out living thier lives not thinking about the world of obesity,,, that is after all exactly what we all want.... isn't it?

Thanks again. I am looking forward to more pics!

I'm not saying that the band is right for EVERYONE, just as NO WLS is right for EVERYONE. But it clearly was right for ME, and I will never regret my decision.

Here's my Before:

Sometime around 2002, at the New Orleans Aquarium. It was hotter than hot and I was dying...

This was about at my lowest weight... a rare day that I wasn't in horrific, blinding pain...

Now, I'm about 80 pounds heavier than my lowest weight... so not quite to the Before... but really, really far from the above photo, unfortunately!

RNY with

I haven't "posed" for anything new these days since I am still just maintaining rather than getting those last 30lbs off, but here are my preop and one year post op Before/ After pics. Even though my after picture was taken several months ago I'd say I still look the same as the post op but with shorter hair, I am still wearing the same clothes/ size anyways. Cant wait until I can post an at goal pic.
