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.

OMG, you look fabulous tiffy!! you are my dream model. congratulationsss for your great success and efforts.

I would never have recognized you. You look wonderful. Job well done!

Hello tiffykins,

I alway look through the photo section of this forum and your picture always makes me look at the rest of your photos. You have always been a big inspiration for me to keep hanging in there and not give up on having the sleeve. I had the sleeve on Dec.2 and I hope that I reach my goal. I am 5' 4.5" tall and my goal is 145. On Dec.14 in the morning I weighed 220.6, so I have 75.6 pounds more pounds to lose to my goal of 145. Now whenever I look at all your picture updates, I get so inspired to try harder to do what I need to do to get to that goal. I am glad that you come on here to share often. I am so thankful that I saw this thread and clicked onto it. Have a great day and I wish you all the best on reaching your goal of 150!!!!

Tiffy , you just look FANTASTIC!! What else can I say. You really are an inspiration.

Thanks

Tiff, I don't know what to say, except WOW!!! What an amazing difference in such a short period of time. You absolutely rock the sleeve girl! :waytogo:

OMG! You look wonderful.

Tiff, you are half the woman you used to be...except for your heart...it is twice as BIG. Love ya!

You look Fantastic! I always love seeing before and afters! Can't wait to do mine! Keep on inspiring us girl!!

If you had not told me that was a picture of you, I would have never believed it! You look FANTASTIC and your face shows how fantastic you feel.

Tiffy, You are looking great!!! Thanks for posting your picture.

WOW! Tiffy seeing the picture full size is a huge difference! you have come sooooo far! God bless you and your great big heart.

There is only one thing left on your outside that could be called big.~~~~~~~~~~ Your Great Big Ole "cat ate the canary" GRIN!

Don't you dare loose that!

CONGRATULATIONS

You were always gorgeous..... but that second picture... woot woot!!!!

And the bright color looks so pretty on you.

WOW! That is truly amazing. I noticed in your siggy that you had your sleeve at Eglin AFB, I'm also getting the sleeve by a military doc. We do have some great docs here, for sure. I am curious, did you need any plastic surgery, or did your skin snap back to place? When I lost 80lbs on the band, my skin snapped just fine. I'm worried it isn't going to do that this time. You must be beside yourself with pride looking like that now. Amazing!
