Weight Loss Surgery Forums

If you are like most post-op OH members, you have had one of those jaw-dropping, heart-racing moments when you realize how much you have changed when you look back at your pre-op photos. We love to celebrate and share those moments with you by publishing your Before & After photos!

The Photo Department is accepting submissions for consideration in the OH Before & After Gallery, OH Magazine as well as in the OH Newsletter. Here are the ways you can participate:

Before & After Gallery Instructions
1. We ask that you have either lost 100 lbs or be at / near goal.
2. Please send your username, email address and photos to [email protected]
3. Photos should preferably be non-cropped original, preferable front facing with similar pose and non-busy backgrounds.
4. If you would like the photos to be captioned, please also include that in the email as well.

Newsletter & Magazine Instructions

1. Photo Release form. Please initial where needed and provide all the needed information - it will remain confidential (Click to download your authorization form: PDF). You can return it by fax, or scan and email to the email address on the form.

2. Before & After Photos. Photos ideally should be non-cropped original, preferably front facing with similar pose and non-busy backgrounds. Please submit one or more before photos and one or more after photos if possible to [email protected]. Photos for the magazine should be a high resolution, 300dpi—or in non-technical terms, please send photos in their original state that you can zoom in on and make very large without them getting fuzzy or blurry. We know that sometimes you may not have access to high resolution photos but that is ok, we can still consider smaller web-sized photos for the newsletter!

3. Include Your Information:
• OH Username (what you sign into OH with)
• Your weight loss (how many pounds)
• Method of weight loss (RNY, DS, Lap-Band, VSG, Diet & Exercise, etc.)
• Your Surgeon’s Name
• Your email and mailing address
• Your Words. A 30-word quote about how your life has transformed.

If you have any questions or need additional information, please let us know in your email.
We look forward to celebrating the new you!
