Thanks Judy. I was sorting through my email attachments trying to locate a certain photo and found many treasures. I got a kick out of this one because I look like such a "know-it-all!" I thought it matched my postings!!
I love your picture. It's so glamourous.
Here's one of my "after" shots:
Yes, there's flab where I used to have big rolls of fat. And notice how thin my hair is. I lost a lot of hair.
But NEEDING a belt! My god, I remember shopping for belts at St. Vincent because I hadn't needed one for years! Notice how long it is. I didn't trust that I wouldn't need it to be bigger.
There's a tiny sliver of light between my thighs up by my crotch. I never thought I'd be so skinny there that I'd see sunshine instead of red, chafed skin.
As a reminder, here's a before shot:
I'm glad I had surgery before I got any older. I was 57 in the after picture, probably 51 in the before.
