Hey all! I'm looking for some new forums to join on here for a little more inspiration and support....

I started at a BMI of about 52.5, now after losing 100lbs (give or take) with the LapBand, I am down to 35.5!!! I love my band and glad this forum exists... we've all come a very long way....

Here are my pics:

About 100lbs ago and last year in April before my surgery:

Welcome.  I am very impressed with your weight loss with a lap band. You must have really put in a lot of work on this. You look great. Thanks for the pictures. You are so cute... This was the first time I've see the arms wtih batwings before and after surgery. I am inspired but I also have to remember that you are a lot younger than me.. But I can hope...

Thanks Teresa! I have worked hard! I was really surprised about the batwings when posting this... they actually look smaller!

Thanks for posting the inspiring photos. You look GREAT. You actually lost about 15 yrs in addition to 100 lbs. I'm 57, so I wouldn't mind looking YOUNGER too.

Glad you joined us. Keep up the sensational work.

Thanks so much for the welcome! You are right, I do look younger! Before people always thought I was a mother with kids. Now people call me "kiddo" lol
