Or you can just open the photo on your computers photo veiwer. Right click on the photo, click 'edit'. That should open it in Paint, click 'Image' (above photo.) then click the 'Stretch/Skew' option. Once there you will have 4 boxes for numbers. Make sure you are in the ''stretch' section and in the horozontal and vertical boxes put in any number smaller than 100. (I usually go with about 50, this will reduce your picture size by 1/2.)

Skip the 'skew' option, and click OK.

Its not nearly as complicated as it sounds. And its better than downloading an unknown program to your computer.

I have a question for everyone who's had this surgery. How long did you need help after the surgery? I live alone and will need to ask someone to stay with me. Is a day or two enough?

I needed help just to get up for two days. It was only to get up out of bed.I washed up and walked by myself. I even took my son to the storeon day 5 and my PS told me that I could go back to work on day7.

Overall I am doing great. I went from a tight 14 to a comfy 10 and I am exercising. its amazing to see that I now have a lap. I even show coworkers my scar,not the entire scar but the side by my hip. they are amazed how thin and flat it is.

Cali my doc took pics of a rash that I had on the right side of my pannus. My pannus also covered my pubic area and I think that might be a reason to have plastic surgery. My doc took care of everything I can't tell you what was in the letter but if you took a look at my before pic I think the person in the insurance company wasgrossed out and stamped my letter approved to get it off their desk.

I also used Dr.Kwon and had lap band surgery on 08/06. Two weeks ago Dr.Winski did my TT. I am not loosing any weight and am worried. Did you like Dr. WInski, and did he do anymore surgery for you? Thanks and be well.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
