Hello - I had surgery 5/9/06 and have lost 50 lbs already! :clap2:

I'm not sure if I am loading these pics up correctly, but one picture is of me (the "before" picture) is at the hospital in Mexico and the other two (the "after" pictures) are from this past weekend, 8/20/06)...

Here is after pics of almost 125lbs down and 1 year out. I'm still not happy with the skin issue, but I'm happy with the overall weight loss.

Hopefully these pics will come out ok. The first one was taken on 3/22/06 one day before surgery, the second was taken today, 6 months post and 63lbs lighter.

Everyone looks great!! Keep up the good work.

Ok, now for my 11 month post-op photos. Pardon the poor picture quality but I can't find my digicam and had to use the cell phone camera.

My starting weight was 274 pounds and I'm 182 pounds in these pictures.

The first pictures were taken just about a week after I started my preop dieting - down from 255 and the 2nd set are from the 31st of August - 15 days after surgery.

Hey guys! Here's some recent pictures. I never realized the difference in my face until I put them side by side! I'll get some full body pictures soon. :welldoneclap:
