The "Before" photos

It has taken a lot of courage for me to publish these photos, but I hope I have managed to hide my true identity from all but the most determinedly curious reader.

I have never liked my body, and certainly I have never before had any photos taken unclothed, but these are the ones taken by the surgeon at my first visit. I didn't dream that I would ever want to see myself like this, so I didn't take any of my own pre-op photos, and had to ask for a printout of these at one of my post-op visits.
