MamaMichelle Posted May 22, 2008 Report Posted May 22, 2008 I was again browsing the member's Galleries and came across some great progress of our board Moderator Dolittle!! Not sure of the exact dates of these pics (I believe the first was day of surgery 3/1/07 and the next on his reecent trip to TJ on 5/15/07) hopefully he'll log on to confirm and maybe share his weight when they were taken, but once again proof postive that the band WORKS (and not just for us girls)!!

Yes,, the dates are correct,, The first picture I was on March 1 2007,, I weighed in at 275,, down 20 lbs from my pre-op diet,, So,, I started this ordeal at around 295lbs. I went on the pre-op diet on January 1st 2007,, So I had 3 months to loose some weight before the surgery. So I did an Atkins type diet for those 3 months. The second picture was last week while at the clinic, I took this in the same location at the clinic, same pose, in the hall way at the clinic. Same color shirt, but I don't own those warm up pants anymore,, they'd fall off if I tried to wear them anyway. But my weight is now at 205lbs. I'm in the process of trying to get approved for a tummy tuck now,, part of the reason I was down in TJ last week was to touch base with Dr. Quiroz at the Cosmed Clinic. If I don't get insurance approval,, I'll be heading to the Cosmed Clinic for a lower body lift.

Jacqui1 Posted May 22, 2008 Report Posted May 22, 2008 Awesome job!! i had a consult at Cosmed while I was there for my surgery and was really impressed. Please keep us posted on what you decide to do about the tummy tuck
Dolittle Posted May 22, 2008 Report Posted May 22, 2008 OK gang,, I'm humbled by your support and congrats.. I can say that getting lap banded was the smartest thing I had ever done,, I just wish I would have done it 6 years ago when I first looked into it. So, for those wannabees that are sitting on the fence, thinking about making that decision, just do it and don't look back! Thanks again everyone,, >
