Before and Afters....




So several people have been asking me when I was going to post my before and after pictures from having my reduction surgery...well I'm finally getting around to doing it. I had to wait until some of the swelling went down which they say can take up to six months or more til it is completely gone but I figured it was at least down enough that I could post a picture now. Most of you have seen me in person since the surgery but well these pictures really put it in perspective why I was so miserable before and why I was so self conscious about it. Cause there is such a huge difference! A weight has been lifted from my shoulders literally (almost six pounds believe it or not) I cannot even begin to describe what a difference this has made in my life. I am so much more confident and happy these days that's for sure! I still have some pounds to lose of course but at least now I can finally exercise a lot easier than before :-) It was so worth all the pain and misery of recovering for months and months and the still on going financial drama and trauma of it all! I would highly recommend it to anyone who is ever thinking about it cause its the best thing I've ever done and the best present I could ever give myself!

Tami! You look great! And I'm glad you're feeling better all the time. Do you remember how our hugs were like perfect, b/c I was taller, so it was like my head, then your head, then my bosoms, then your bosoms, then my poochy tummy. I wonder if hugging will ever be the same (j/k) By the way, my word verification below is "hotho" and you are no ho, but you are a hottie!
