Tomorrow is my 1 yr band annv.


Recommended Posts

Well, I thought I would update. It has been almost 15 months since I was banded. 3 weeks ago I had a extended tummy tuck and arm lift. I lost another 16 pounds from it for a total so far of 123 pounds. I would like to lose another 10 or 15 pounds and eventually have a thigh lift but that is a while away. I will share pictures as soon as I get some taken. My arms are still swollen but it made a huge difference. I went down two sizes in pants because I had so much extra skin. It feels great to wear short sleeves without three arms hanging out...lol.

Just thought I would share.

Wow, 97 pounds, you are amazing!! I can't wait to see pictures. 16 pounds, wow-again.

You are truly an inspiration.

Thank you so much for sharing.

Did it hurt? I am dying to have a tummy tuck and arm tuck eventually but terrified of the pain. I was told that those types of surgeries are the most painful thing to have done. Is that true?

You're doing great Shannon, and you must feel so good about having the cosmetic surgery done. Please share where you had it done, and how much it was. Can't wait to see your new pic's as well.. Thanks! Anita
