Lynn08 Posted December 9, 2007 Report Posted December 9, 2007 You look fantastic! I'm thinking about having the surgery done in January. My biggest concern is scarring. How was the scarring with your surgery? Thanks, Lynn
kym828 Posted December 11, 2007 Author Report Posted December 11, 2007 You look fantastic! I'm thinking about having the surgery done in January. My biggest concern is scarring. How was the scarring with your surgery? Thanks, Lynn Lynn, thank you! the only scares i really have are my stupid stretch marks from being so fat! honestly all the scares from surgery have faded and you can barely see the one left from where they put they port in...its about 3/4 of and inch long and very faint - in another year it will be all gone i think. when i post the next pictures i will try to show my belly - that will be in about 20 lbs or so or at 18 months post op - which ever comes first. go for it - its the best thing i ever did for myself! kym
kym828 Posted December 31, 2007 Author Report Posted December 31, 2007 I added a new Christmas picture to the bunch... i have only lost 3 lbs in the last 6 weeks but it is the first time i have ever lost weight thru the holidays instead of gained!! Happy New Year everyone! Kym

Happy New Year everyone!Kym You look great. Keep up the good work!
JilliePooh Posted January 3, 2008 Report Posted January 3, 2008 WOW--you look great! I am banding in February! I am excited but anxious too! did you diet prior to going? any secrets??? Thanks
kym828 Posted January 7, 2008 Author Report Posted January 7, 2008 I did the bare minimum prior to surgery... i believe they wanted me to lose 10 lbs before i got to mexico but i think i only lost about 6 or 7 and they were ok with that. i had no problems but i would recommend trying to do the preop diet just to help shrink your liver and make it easier for the surgeon. the biggest misconception/secret is people believe the band will do most of the work - it will help but you will have to do most of the work. you will have to committ to watching what you eat, how you eat, and you will have to exercise to reach goal. good luck on your surgery!! kym
barbflorida Posted January 8, 2008 Report Posted January 8, 2008 You are so right. So many people think this is a magic bullet, but it's a tool. We still need to make the right choices. It just made it a lot easier for me. I think partly because of the band and partly because I didn't want to throw away the money. I could have never looked at myself in the mirror if I didn't do everything I could to make the investment worthwhile.
angelav Posted January 22, 2008 Report Posted January 22, 2008 COngrats!!! you look great keep it up Great job you look awesome =D>

kym828 Posted April 2, 2008 Author Report Posted April 2, 2008 Hi everyone... i have added more pictures at 16 months post-op and down 70 lbs. the wt loss has been slow the last 4 months but the inches are still coming off. i am a comfortable size 12 now. dont give up everyone, the band really does work if you just give it time and stick to a plan. kym828 http://s222.photobucket.com/albums/dd187/kym828/
