PreOp Photos

These are the ones I never wanted to share.. But the sad reality is this is what I looked like before. I cannot change the past but only make it better for the future.

The first 2 pictures are from 10/07 when I began seeing the surgeon and requesting insurance approval. I have BCBS of Minnesota and was required to complete 6 months of a supervised diet. I only lost 5 lbs in the 6 month diet (I didn't try to lose weight :( )
