BEFORE Pictures

The following is a small collection of 'before' surgery pictures, my weight was fairly steady around 300 pounds from 1999 until just before my surgery in September 2003.

This is my friend's dog Paco that I'm giving rabbit ears too. Its not a very flattering photo for either of us, no I'm not stoned or drunk, its just a bad picture

Yes, I am a Star Trek geek, but then, if you're reading my web page, you should already know that! This is not my uniform, its one that I borrowed, I really don't care for this style, its not very flattering - but then, neither is the extra 150 pounds that I've got either This is me at a con, and yeah, I *am* drunk in this picture, I'm also showing a lot of cleavage, if you click here you can see what I'm talking about :-) Oh look, geeking out again, should you really be surprised at this point? I will admit that the DS9/Voyager style is more flattering at least ... and yeah, that *IS* my coffee on the table next to me too ;-)

This is a side-by-side comparison of me and my cousin Jason. The first picture was taken in May 2003, he had his RNY surgery in August '03 and I had my band put in September '03. This is us about a year and half post-surgery. He's lost over 200 pounds and I've lost about 65.

two different people!
