Or you can just open the photo on your computers photo veiwer. Right click on the photo, click 'edit'. That should open it in Paint, click 'Image' (above photo.) then click the 'Stretch/Skew' option. Once there you will have 4 boxes for numbers. Make sure you are in the ''stretch' section and in the horozontal and vertical boxes put in any number smaller than 100. (I usually go with about 50, this will reduce your picture size by 1/2.)

Skip the 'skew' option, and click OK.

Its not nearly as complicated as it sounds. And its better than downloading an unknown program to your computer.

I have a question for everyone who's had this surgery. How long did you need help after the surgery? I live alone and will need to ask someone to stay with me. Is a day or two enough?

I needed help just to get up for two days. It was only to get up out of bed.I washed up and walked by myself. I even took my son to the storeon day 5 and my PS told me that I could go back to work on day7.

Overall I am doing great. I went from a tight 14 to a comfy 10 and I am exercising. its amazing to see that I now have a lap. I even show coworkers my scar,not the entire scar but the side by my hip. they are amazed how thin and flat it is.

Cali my doc took pics of a rash that I had on the right side of my pannus. My pannus also covered my pubic area and I think that might be a reason to have plastic surgery. My doc took care of everything I can't tell you what was in the letter but if you took a look at my before pic I think the person in the insurance company wasgrossed out and stamped my letter approved to get it off their desk.

I also used Dr.Kwon and had lap band surgery on 08/06. Two weeks ago Dr.Winski did my TT. I am not loosing any weight and am worried. Did you like Dr. WInski, and did he do anymore surgery for you? Thanks and be well.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
