After a lifetime of struggling with weight issues I had Lapband Surgery in 2009. I feel like this is the last thing to bring the mirror and my head in to alignment. The extra belly skin is embarrassing (makes ALOT of noise when I jog) and I have to put underarm deodorant because this area sweats and seriously stinks - if I don't.

Forgive me for being slow to respond - I'm still learning my way around here. I'm having a lower body lift done - little nervous today, surgery is 36 hours away. I am as prepared as I can be - I'll make sure to take a lot of photos - and share my journey!

Here are a few pictures of me at my heaviest - the camera was NOT something I enjoyed back then. I had Lap-band surgery July 29, 2009. I was about 250 at my heaviest. I'm 5'4".

Procedure went amazing - surgery took 12.5 hours - I feel bad they all had to work so long while I slept the day away! Check out my updates and all the photos - I'll keep them coming!

Day of surgery and 1 day post op

I'm giving this update 10 day post op and I'll break things down into updates that I have taken photos.
Let me start by saying my doctor uses a hospital that is 1.5 hours from his office. His entire team and choice of hospital is one of the MANY MANY benefits of making sure you are using a true professional who's passionate about what he does. They used a numbing compound to prep for my IV, had warming blankets in the prep room and immediately in the operationing room.
Here are the first pictures when I saw my new belly. I was actually in surgery for 12.5 hours. The entire process was as pain-free as possible. EVERY single person from the admittance, to the operating team, recovery and hospital room staff were caring, compassionate, professional and loving.
They helped me take these photos - my first view of my new tummy.
I had a catheter and 2 drains.
