Once again I'd forgotten about this thread!
I'm 22 months post op now & happily maintaining at 26 bmi, I did get to 25 bmi but I've put about half a stone on. Technically still a stone overweight, which I would still like to loose but o don't think it'll be coming off any time soon.
I'm a size 12/14 bottom & 12 top. Never in a million years did I ever think that was possible!
I'm still struggling with the head issues of weight loss which is combined with life stress & anxiety. I'm trying to not focus so much on weight loss as it makes coping day to day harder.
I'm really pleased with the results from my band & wish I'd done it years ago. The only downside is accepting the new me & loose skin but I'm beginning to except the skin issues, exercise is helping to tone me up a bit
I'll try & attach some photos.

Those trousers sound epic! I do love wearing clothes that would have looked ridiculous on me 11 stone. I picked up a lovely polka dot mini puffy skirt today for 50p!
