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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
