I dont know about everyone else but I decided to take pictures of myself the day of surgery so 1 year from now I can compare what I looked like and to remind myself that this is how the OLD me was and the New me is going to be better and healthier and off medication and happier.

Good luck to everyone out there who have upcoming surgeries. Mine is Oct 11th....few days away, can't believe it's finally here.

GOod for you!! Hey I did the same thing. I also took pics of my bare belly through my first two weeks of recovery. Not sure I'll ever show those to anyone, but I wanted to have them to look back on!!
