People must think I'm nuts...I look into everything to see my reflection...on toasters and microwaves and mirrors in the car and mirrors in the house and dressing rooms...I can't believe my eyes!!!

I just posted my 3 month pictures (I'll be 3 months out on Friday)...I'm down to 184 lbs. that's a 75 lb. loss since July (14 before my surgery).

Checks out my pictures...is it as noticeable as I think it is?

Got a lap band in 2008. Tried hard, but didn't lose much weight & developed swallowing problems. Fought my insurance company for almost a year & finally had a band to DS revision on 5/11/12. Have now lost 125 pounds. Yay!

OMG - you are doing amazingly well.... I am like Shelli - I am jealous !    But I knew the lapband would not give me the same results in the same amount of time as RNY, but man, oh man - I wish I were in your shoes !

Congratulations!

I wish I could say yes...but literally only 1-2 times per week (if that some weeks).  I haven't had any sagging skin yet, so I figure I better really start exercising in case things are thinking about heading south...LOL

Your results are INCREDIBLE! I was about 8 months out before I reached the point you are at now. Way to go!
