You look Great!!!
I know its a cliche, but it really is hard to believe that it's the same person in those two photos.
Have a great night out!

thank you Dick! I think the same as you when looking at my before pic, and my current one..it's so hard to believe that was ME. I remember looking at before/after pictures before i had surgery, just amazed at how much people changed in looks..never thought that would be me though. I am so happy that I had this surgery. Although I do still see myself as huge most days..when i see pics like these..it helps to sink in that i really have changed.

Plan on having a very fun night out!!

You look so good. Beautiful and happy! You truly have a smile that shares your happiness. Thank you for sharing your photos and experience. I'm only a few weeks post op and these wonderful stories that you all have been sharing are so inspirational and help me know I did make the right decision. Congratulations.

And yes..you made the right decision..just wait until you're about 6 mths postop and you really see the big loss by then..you'll be so thrilled w/your new life..and you won't be able to believe how fast time has gone by. Seems slow at first..but it really does go by fast!
