IDEA....

How about if all the post ops bring a before picture(s) to the December get together?? I think it would be really cool to see what everyone looked like before..and as Dee Dee has demonstrated, it's a GREAT inspiration to those who are awaiting their surgery... Just a thought....no biggie if no one wants to.... (Becky Farmer...if no one ELSE does, I want YOU to, cuz I don't believe you were EVER overweight! LOL!! You look great!) -Tami

You got it, Girlfriend!!! You just made my day! I think it's a great idea! Big ((((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))))) to you!!! Becky

That is a great idea.... I would love after pics to....... lol..... Lazy butt..... Connie

Alright smarty butt!! It has NOTHING to do with laziness and EVERYTHING to do with the new card reader I bought... I CAN'T GET THE DANG THING TO WORK!!!!!!!!!! I'm going NUTS!!! I'm sorry it's taking so long...hopefully, tomorrow, I can talk my dad into looking at the problem and see if he can help me out.....

Great idea!! I've already started a WL photoalbum. Not sure if y'all do this at your support group meetings but at ours most people have the mini-photo albums with progress pictures. It IS a great inspiration to pre-ops as well as post-ops. Hugs, TOnya

Isn't that the truth! Becky was never overweight! I want to see the pics to prove it

Girl, you're going to see that proof!!! In most of my photos, my mouth is open (What does that mean?), or I'm running aways LOL I love you!!! Hugs, Becky

We should have everyone from the GA board bring a before and after picture (copy) and make a scrapbook and bring it to every get together. Everyone could have their own page and keeping adding pictures along their journey. Then when new people come they can look through it and it would also help with recognizing people there. Just my two cents Shree

OHHHH!! I LIKE that idea!! GOOD ONE Shree!!!!

The amazing thing is I even have a before photo. It was taken in Las Vegas, less than a week before my surgery. (I have always avoided the camera as much as possible.) I will be happy to bring it. Guess I will need to go to PCP to be weighed before then too so I can get an updated weight loss. Hugs and prayers, Theresa
