Are you BLESSED? Please share your before and after pics with me

I posted this on the band board and thought I would ask you guys to share your blessing of before and after pics with me too!! It's not about being an attention ***** as they say but about being blessed and healthy and sharing and staying healthy this is just a post of a grim reminder of where we came from!!!

We all got different weight loss surgeries on BAF, we chose a surgery that fit our particular needs and lifestyles ALL weight loss surgeries WILL work if you work them -- there are many many here who have lost all of their weight and maintained, I am blessed with my band, I am blessed that I am no longer in a size 26 , I  squeezed into a size 8 dress only for a New Youk minute , but I am happy to be sitting around a 12 these days, I am thankful for my health and being normal...please share your blessing with me, I am off to work this morning...Have a blessed day
