Friends Requests and sharing photos

hmmmm.....that might be possible......I'll think about it once some of the bruising has gone and may post 1 or 2 public pics.  Thanks for the idea.

Thanks for the kudos on my bottom. 

Hey Ruth
I read everyday but dont post and am waiting on my BACK HALF of the lBL as I had the tummy tuck last summer ,,
Do you find that yours came out good as I think you had the front half first too didnt you ?
I am worried about the butt and outer thigh part actually as the front came out great although I have no pics to prove it ,,,

WOW, what an amazing difference.

Thank you for sharing the pictures!  Within the last couple months I have been coming to the plastic surgery board and have been addicted to reading everyones posts and seeing the pictures.  I had a TT on 11/23 but i have not been brave enough to post any pictures. 

Hey...Not sure if I sent a request or not but definitely understand the privacy issues and that some people can take your kindness for weekness and do mean things...Personally I do keep my profile public but when and after I have my plastics, that may change. But I chose to do so with hopes that my journey can help and encourage others. I definitely understand your position.

Great post, Moosie!  I never even thought about the privacy issue and the fact that others might get on here and do things with our pics - I guess I just trusted everyone on the site to not do anything with anyone's photos.  Didn't even think about the fact that other public people can get on here and do things, too.  I've posted pics of myself pre & post-op for public viewing that I'd be totally embarrassed to have even my family members see, let alone strangers who aren't just looking because they're going to be having surgery and just want to see other people's results.  Thanks for the insightful post!

I haven't sent you a friend request but I thought I'd comment anyway.

I think you are SOOOO right to be cautious. 

I used to have my profile set to publi****il some mean witches on the rants & raves forum copied one of my pics I had posted of my new haircut (in my pajamas at night, not naked or anything - but definately a sleepy photo where I wasn't making any effort to be glamorous) and copied it into their posts to make fun of me.  Since then, my own profile has been set to private.  (The yellow flower avatar wasn't because of that.  I've just had it forever because I love yellow flowers.  LOL)

But you are TOTALLY right to leary/wary.  People on the internet (just like in real life) are crazy.  And it's easier to hide crazy on here than it is in real life. 

So I think you're right to be cautious.

PS  By that first statement about not requesting you as a friend, I didn't mean that in a bad way.  I used to come on OH a lot my first year to year and a half post-op.  Then I fell off in recent months to hardly coming on at all.  I recently started up again when I was doing my PS thing.  So I just haven't sent out ANY friend requests in a long time. 

Don't worry I'm not offended by what you said.......  :-)
