Hi everyone

Thought it would be a good (but scary) thing for all of us to do - post our before pictures!

Here are mine!

Hey Lingling,

Nice pics...you'll have to keep taking your progression pics in your pretty little black dress! That is a dream of mine - to actually OWN a little black dress...lol.

I want to post pics too, but want to wait till I'm closer to a surgery date. Yours is coming up fast! Woo hoo!!!

Yeah, I took mine a few days before I started Pre-op diet. Took some in different outfits and in underwear too - but I wont be posting them on here!! haha.

i took some in a pair of undies and a bra last night. wont be sharing them here unless i crop out my head LOL and even then i'm not sure. I will be so glad when I have befores to compare to my afters right? that's the theory? lol

Hi, I'm researching getting the procedure. I'm scared of the scarring as well. I know I should be more worried of dying of a heart attack right? How big are the incisions ? and how many are they? are they noticable if I wear a bathing suit one day ? thx

Bella the scarring is pretty minimal - better to have three scars than a big gut!!!

If you go to the "Photos" link, some of the bandsters have posted post-op photos so you can see the size of the incisions.

Ok, so I am trying to put a pic on here but I cant figure out how. All it does is erase what I have typed and is really big. Can anyone tell me how to put a pic on here?

Yup, you just add them down beneath where you type

it says

Attach Files

Valid file extensions: bmp doc gif jpe jpeg jpg mp3 pdf png psd txt zip

and click on it and add as many as you like !

OK, let me see if this works. This is the pic that made me decide It was time to do something drastic.

Yeah I did it...LOL :)

Let's see if this works. This is from a weekend trip to Lexington Ky last August. Now I need to find those shorts and that shirt for update pics.
