Before and after pics
I had to really, really hunt to find a "before" pic because I was the master at avoiding the camera. This one is probably a good 3-4 years old -- and I was a lot bigger than this when I started the pre-op process. I wish I could post the pic that my surgeon's office took the day I started pre-op...it's AWFUL! But it's a pdf file and I can't get it to save on my profile, etc. I have some progress pics in my profile. The "after" pic is from today.
I went to an OA meeting this morning and wore a sleeveless shirt. A woman came up and asked me what I was doing to get such impressive arms - ?!? Me, she asked me - a very surreal moment!
Thank god for clothes because they hide a LOT, but I can only be grateful and happy for the progress I've made. Thanks to everyone on OH for your support, advice and direction over the last year
