I am finally posting some pics. I had my surgery on May 21, 2007. I am down 50 lbs. so far. The first pic is from the night before surgery, the 2nd is July 11, and the 3rd is from August 13. I just had my 2nd fill and I am feeling great! Looking at all these pics are inspirational!

Okay...finally brave enough to post these as they are full body pics and I shy away from the camera when it comes to full body shots. Quality of pics are not great...my husband hasn't quite figured it out, but he tries! :blush: Still have a way to go but I can finally see the change.

Okay here are my 6 month pics. The brick wall one is the day of surgery. The ones in the green shirt are like a week after surgery and the pink shirt is yesterday, 65 pounds down.

Sorry the before pic is so grainy. I do not have very many pics from when I weighed 350. The newest picture was taken yesterday. That's my boy Buddy at the vet's office.
