Thank you Connie. I post them for just that reason, so many photos like this were what I wanted to see before I took the big step to have this surgery. I wish you all the best!

I have lost 98 lbs and wasn't even at my heaviest in the pool.  Very distressing to see what we looked like before and not until you lose do you realize just how out of control our lives get.  Seeing these will be a constant reminder of what I did to my body.  My walker is out of view, but I damaged my hips so badly from being super morbidly obese that they are bone on bone now and have to have them replaced.  Having the surgery will not reverse the damage.  I am more mobile, no long take diabetic meds, blood pressure is normal I can do way more, just need my walker because of the pain.  So for any of you out there realize that yes, losing weight will help, but once the joints are damaged, that's it.  No going back.  Jane

Jane and Martha- you both look FABULOUS and GORGEOUS!!!! Such an inspiration to us all.

Martha 

You are doing great Jane!

You need smaller clothes!!!!!!   Great job!

It seems so weird buying clothes that say small! I am working at it though. Thanks Kim!

Look at how slim and trim you are! You look like $3 million bucks ( have to account for inflation). Good work.

Thank you RosyKate!  You look fabulous!!!   I never ever get use to seeing the before and after pictures.  The saying " A picture speaks a thousand words" couldn't be more true.  To all our sisters and brothers on OH, I am proud of each and everyone of us!   Jane
