always_precious

I find what continues to motivate me the most is to see the difference WLS has done for so many people. I am asking anyone who would like to share to please share any before and after pictures after WLS or plastick surgery after WLS.

Seeing the difference in your lives continue to let me know that I am looking for that same happiness in my own. I know myself and other newbies would appreciate the share. (as well as those who've been here for a while).

Thanks in advance

Welcome to the forum!

before & Afters do inspire many.This is such a HUGE life changing decision for anyone to make.

Before pics are blurry but I do not have a scanner...
3rd pic is one year out in Jamaica
4th pic is two years post-op, I am currently 32 months post-op & that is the last pic in the black dress.

**I have not had any Plastic Surgery but one day if I can afford it, I would like to have my breasts reduced/lifted.

Again, Welcome to the forum.

Welcome to the forum! You are right that the before and after pictures are inspirational.

I'm also posting a pre-op plastics and a 7 weeks post plastic pictures. I am presently 8 weeks post-op from a tummy tuck and breast lift.

Hi Vanessa, you look absolutely amazing ( so do you MiladyB) but you say the only plastics you want are breast related- no other loose skin?

I have posted these before but, here goes.

It is not easy for me to see the before pics, but I was very inspired pre-op, by those brave enough to share for me. So if this helps than, please enjoy!
I included a montage of the first 12 weeks.
The next 2 are posy weight loss of 130 pounds. Not too much of a pannus, but 2 hernias which I got repaired with the partial body lift.
The next 2 pics are about 1 year post op from plastics and the flash captured the scars and stretch marks. n regular light you can not really see them.
The next is me in this years my Halloween costume, only becasue it is the most recent pic and it shows my tummy, which I only show on Halloween or in my backyard!!!
Before and after face shots.
Hope this helps...but I must tell you that the biggest changes in me are not able to be photographed.

It has been a long journey, and it has not been easy. Perhaps the memory of the challenges are what keep me on track...that and all my fellow staplers!!!
Get educated, be informed, learn everything and make sure you are ready for the life long commitment to good health and healthy choices!!
