DSers - time to post your before and afters......
.
i'm a lurker, not a poster - but wanted to say how impressive you all look. It's a validation we have all made a good choice to become healthier people, with the added bonus of looking amazing!
Maria posted pictures of us together, i thought i'd share a few more (thumbnails, click for larger sizes).
First was about May 2008, about a year before surgery (probably our highest weight). The second about 6 months out after surgery - Fall 2009..
This was our Cabo, Mexico October 2008 photo that was turning point for us - and then May 2010 with the same friends in Northern California
First: Mary is far left, Maria far right - bookends! 2nd: Mary is far left, Maria second from right
My preop picture by Dr Simpers office, and one year anniversary appointment (about 125 lost)
From 3X and 26/28 size, to 12/14. I still have more to lose, but i'm thrilled with my results so far, and have never felt better, or more healthy in my life!

This thread was a great idea, Sharon!
Everyone looks so gorgeous and healthy!!
Here's my before (even though it's technically an "after," because it was about 7 weeks postop and I'd already lost about 50 pounds - down to 250)
And here are a couple of afters, taken this summer - 4 years out - on my trip to the UK to celebrate my 40th birthday, 20th anniversary, and 4th surgiversary.
I LOVE my DS!!
