I'm at the DMV renewing my expired drivers license.

After surgery did you guys change your drivers license?

Mine doesn't expire until 2018. By then I figure I'll be at the weight I want to be and will have been maintaining for a little over a year (had surgery on 07/29/15). So I think I'll wait until then.

It'll be a milestone I can look forward to achieving. Plus the novelty of actually giving my correct weight. ????

I changed my about a year out. I bore no resemblance to my previous photo.

I am not going to update mine until it is time. I don't look nothing like the picture, but I do weigh about what my licenses says now????????????????

The funny thing is that the weight I have on my drivers license is actually closer to my current weight but the picture of me is 95lbs heavier....how will I explain that one on renewal.....ummm. 'Bout the weight part...must have been a "typo" ?!?

For my side I will as in Arizona they expire when one is 65 ????. We are supposed to get a new photo every 12 years.

I am laughing that I just commented on this a few days ago and last night the lady at the bank asked me for my license.

First off my picture that is on mine license was taken after I was in a car accident and was still recovering from breaking almost every bone on my right side. I was still very much swollen as well as being heavy. I covered some bruising around my nose with makeup. I swelled probably about 10-15 lbs on top of the 265 I was(now 188).

Now on with the story, she asked to see my license, she looked at it and me a few times. After she paused I told her I recently lost a huge amount of weight. She checked my signature a few times and it matched so she did the transaction. I didn't think that I looked so different until this. Maybe it is time to drop the extra $20 and get a picture taken?!?!? Still laughing and debating!

I just had to renew my license due to a change of address and I was telling my husband how much I hated the picture (because it looks like me). I then told him that it would be a good test for after surgery because I will be able to see the change.

I look forward to this problem.

My license was taken when I was 21 - 9 years ago. And I weighed almost 100 lbs less. So I have the opposite problem!

Definitely got a new driver's license.

TSA suggested I do so.

I wasn't planning to, in fact in never crossed my mind. But I went to the bank to make a withdraw and they ask for my license and they had to call the manager out because they didn't think it was me. LOL. Kind of a good problem to have. We were getting ready to fly around the same time and I figured if the bank gave me problems there was always a chance the airport would give me problems too. So I paid the small fee (I think it was around 20 or 30) to get a new picture taken for my license.

I haven't yet but I am going to have to. t 100 pounds down I get a lot of strange looks when they look at my license and wonder if it is really me. Same with passport.
