well, since we're talking about nakedness

...
wearing a bathing suit... even one pieces (I will never entertain wearing a bikini until I get the Barbie plastic surgery!) Even though I'm at "goal" all the loose skin looks so scary! LOL!

take care!

all the weight has been lost post-op..I LOVE MY BAND!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

highest weight: 333 pounds (I know I gained after my last "weigh in" in the doctors office so probably it's more like 340 pounds)
current weight: 151 pounds (7/12/11)
I've been at goal (165 pounds) for 6 months now and now on maintence. I tend to go up and down depending on time of the month and such!

My biggest fear was that the surgery would not work for me. I'm not even talking about complications, etc.... I mean, like, even if everything was working as designed and if I was following every single band rule that my body would not release the extra weight.

Fortunately, that hasn't been the case, but it really had me worried pre-op.

This^ I just could not face another failure related to weightloss.
