Today's my 6 year bandiversary! (with pics)
I still love my band! As of this morning I'm down 66 pounds.
I had knee surgery last month and have gained some from not being as active. I know it will come back off. so I'm not too worried about it.
I've had two babies since being banded. Hannah is 3 and Noah is 16 months. They sure keep me on my toes!
I'm researching plastic surgery now that I'm done having babies. Last week a surgeon told me I would lose about 7 pounds from the tummy tuck. I'd still like to lose about 15 pounds, so that would take me half way to goal lol!
I'm so glad I had weight loss surgery! I'm so much healthier (and happier) now, and I'm sure I had an easier time getting pregnant and much easier pregnancies with the weight gone.
I don't have any recent full body shots, but here's some face shots of before and after.
With my nephew. I weighed 270 here.

This is me last week. This morning I weighed 204, so I'd say it was roughly the same weight last week.

Good luck to each of you on your weight loss journey! Don't keep your band too tight. The reflux and possible erosion isn't worth it!
