If you look at my photo gallery there are more photos of my arms before and after surgery, and more photos of my face after the lower facelift.
Enjoy.

You look fantastic Karen, and your story is incredible.

It's interesting how finding the love of your life at one's highest weight makes a huge difference isn't it? I met my husband at my all-time highest weight too, and while it's taking me awhile to lose the weight, I am warmer and more open than I ever was at my lowest weight.

Being loved makes a world of difference.

I'm so glad you found just the right person, and that you've taken such good care of each other.

You look absolutely beautiful. Congratulations on your success

I have to admit that your story took my breath away.
Unconditional love is the miracle worker. It clears the path and provides strength that can never be measured.

Congratualtions on your success.
