8 months Post Op- Pics Inside
WOW!! Thank you all for the kind words. 
Nothing makes me happier than knowing I can inspire others through my photos. I have so many before and after pics but try not to overload the forums with them! I didn't realize some of you follow me and my pictures. Again..thank you for all the nice things you all said. I'm so grateful to be 131 lbs lighter! I feel like I finally have found myself again. I just got so heavy that I lost myself. When I looked in the mirror I couldn't see me or my face. I didn't look like Amber anymore. The fat completely took over. It's almost like being reacquainted with an old friend. I have found myself again and am so thankful for this surgery. It has truly saved my life! It is still a struggle with the mirror sometimes. I hate the excess skin... I still feel heavy and worry that I wont make it to at least 150 lbs, but I try to stay positive and think of all I have accomplished thus far. I don't come on here enough anymore. I will try to check in more. If anyone needs any help just let me know!

I was the same way Lisa! Before surgery I would spend hours on end looking at before and after photos. Its so amazing that I am now in those pictures too! Dont let fear get the best of you. I almost did....but I am so happy I went through with it. If you have this surgery....you will be just like me...posting before and after pics before you know it!!!

Thank you so much for the encouragement. I really need it! No one in my family wants me to have surgery, and my boyfriend will say nothing either way except that he will support whatever I choose. I know what's right for ME and MY BODY, but I can't say that I still don't have my doubts, even after at least 10 years of yo yo dieting! I'm READY! I just can't wait to at least get a date.....I am really nervous about my insurance and getting accepted for the surgery. That's what's most heavily weighing on my mind right now. I have spent so much time reading through everyone's posts for the past couple weeks. I surely hope that in a few months I can start posting before and after pictures too! Again, you look AMAZING, and should be SO PROUD of your progress (as I'm sure you are)
