I love seeing the progress people have made after surgery. So for those comfortable enough to share them I'd love to see your before and after (and even progress) pics. I haven't had surgery yet (and wont for at least another 3mths) so I don't have any to post but I still like seeing what I have to look forward to. The pic below is me at my highest of 316lbs 2hrs after my son was born.

I don't have a full body comparison on my phone but this was my aha moment last week when I finally thought I looked different...I'm sure some already saw my post but I'm struggling bc my stomach will not shrink so while my pants are huge I can't go down a size yet blah, but whatevs it will catch up, right!? Surgery was Nov 20th 2013, Preop diet weight 211, Surg Weight 202.5 Current is 165.5.

Roserie - will you be my sleeve buddy? You and I are very similar in our stats....similar starting weight, similar surgery date, similar amount of weight lost. I don't have any photos to share but you have my thoughts and blessings on your continued success.
