What 100 lbs gone looks like!!!

So in 9 months I'm down 100 lbs!!!! Yay me!!! I just posted my pics to my album so friend me if you want to take a look at my progress. I'll try to upload them to my post tomorrow as my Mac is giving me some issues. I hope I'm able to motivate someone out there in OH land as so many others have done for me! 

That's awesome Shia!  You have really done your work!  Congratulations!

What is the difference between realize band and lap band.

I'm wondering the same thing  :)

I don't think there's a significant difference. My MD said if you're a heavy Internet user, then the Realize band would be beneficial as the website has a bunch of helpful tools and stuff that the LapBand doesn't really have. But in all honesty, I can get all the "helpful tools" from this website...lol.  

wowee as billy crystal would say you look  marvelous. I'm too thinking about surgery (realize band). if u don't mind what weight did u start at? I'm looking for motivation from everyone I'm starting at 368 and I'm having negative thoughts mostly out of fear of failing. I want to succeed but I keep saying maybe I should lose some before doing it. Anyway you look great and you go gurl.

The day before surgery I was 343. I lost about 7 lbs on the pre-op diet so the weight you're starting with wasn't that far off from where I was. I have to tell you...my personal opinion/experience...GO FOR IT!! It's not easy by any means, and the band is a fickle son of a gun...lol....but I have no regrets...NONE! And thank you for your comments by the way! Best wishes to you on your journey!

FANTASTIC!!! You look absolutly fabulous!

Just looked at  your pics and you look GREAT!  Wow!  Congrats!  You are working your band!

Shia congrats again, thanks for the encouragement I get scared sometimes becuaseuI hear the horror stories and then you know the rest. I see it is possible if you work this tool you'll be successful.

thanks again and keep it going gurl.the posey
