I had a friend send me this "before" picture, and thought I would share with everyone. This is from sometime in the spring of 2007. I don't recognize myself in this picture, and am just kind of in shock with this comparison.

For all those considering this surgery, here's proof it works. For those struggling, please don't give up.

Before: I'm the short one on the left.

Thanks for the amazing photos Tiffykins. You give me so much hope. My VSG will be on 11 Jan 10. I'll get my act together soon with some before pics. I have always been the one behind the camera so I have to have some taken to put on here. Maybe some day I will like to have my photo taken.

Thank you all so very much ! ! !

Chancie - I honestly can only think of 2 other times in my life when I've been this happy. When my son was born, and the day I married my lovely husband.

Newmom - you are too sweet, I hit the scale this morning at 156lbs. I've always been good at hiding my fat, and disguising my flaws. Everyone thinks I'm super skinny, but it's the clothes. Your reply definitely made me smile.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
